  • Title: Preoperative scintigraphic evaluation of the liver and biliary tract in Caroli's disease.
    Author: Georgiou E, Alevizaki C, Proukakis C.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1983; 8(1):34-6. PubMed ID: 6832186.
    Abstract:
    Caroli's disease (congenital dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts) is a rare condition which is usually diagnosed postoperatively. Scintigraphic evaluation of this entity is very limited. We report here a patient with Caroli's disease in whom a dichotomy in hepatic uptake of 99mTc-HIDA (hot spots) and 99mTc-colloid (cold spots) was observed, leading to a correct preoperative evaluation of the disease.
