  • Title: Demonstration of post-traumatic bile leak using technetium-99m DISIDA.
    Author: Savitch I, Esser JD, Springolo E, Kew MC.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1986 Dec; 11(12):873-4. PubMed ID: 3815987.
    Abstract:
    A 25-year-old miner was admitted with an acute abdomen and marked pallor following a crush injury to the abdomen. CT showed an irregular, patchy appearance of the posterosuperior portion of the liver with a coefficient of density appreciably less than the rest of the liver, consistent with the presence of a hepatic hematoma. The patient was treated conservatively. During the two weeks that followed, fluid accumulated in the peritoneal cavity. At laparotomy, a large volume of bile- and blood-stained fluid was found in the peritoneal cavity. Tc-99m DISIDA imaging was done after laparotomy.
