Pseudo-obstruction of the biliary tract associated with a traumatic biliary fistula

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
Documentation of a biliary fistula as a complication of hepatic trauma may be made simply and noninvasively using radionuclide (technetium) cholescintigraphy. This report describes the utility of this approach in the evaluation of the pathophysiology underlying apparent biliary obstruction in a patient with a large traumatic biliary fistula.
