  • Title: [Heatobiliary sequential scintigraphy. Value of this nuclear-medicine-diagnostic technic in the pre- and postoperative stages following hepato-biliary-tract injuries].
    Author: Reichelt HG.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1978 Mar; 49(3):167-71. PubMed ID: 639607.
    Abstract:
    The increase in accidental abdominal trauma with liver injury and the wide spread of invasive gastroenterologic/radiologic procedures with the risk of liver or biliary tract damage necessitate diagnostic methods for detection and postoperative control of such lesions. Diagnostic procedures in acute liver damage are discussed. Hepato-biliary sequential scintigraphy proves reliable in detection of bile leakage into the peritoneal cavity. Because of the sensitivity, the method should be used before radiologic investigations, e.g., in diagnosis of postoperative biliary structures and in the examination of functional behavior of biliodigestive anastomoses. Intrahepatic bile stasis is recognized as the forerunner of cholangitis.
