[Standardisation of the technique and interpretation of hepato-biliary functional scintigraphy (author's transl)]

The technique and interpretation of hepato-biliary functional scintigraphy requires some adaptation of the normal methods. Continual recording is necessary. By this means deviations from normal can be detected, such as stenosis of the hepatic ducts, anomalies of the gall bladder and its tone, spastic changes in the lower common bile duct, obstruction at the papilla, occlusion or stenosis of the cystic duct and duodeno-gastric reflux. A functional examination should be included in order to detect anomalies of gall bladder tone. It is stressed that hepato-biliary functional scintigraphy should be included in the scheme of biliary examinations.
