Background:

  • Biliary tract surgery and gastroenteric procedures are common.
  • Post-operative complications can arise, necessitating accurate assessment.
  • Radionuclide imaging plays a vital role in evaluating these patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
  • To examine its application in post-surgical patients.
  • To assess its role following trauma and invasive procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
  • Analysis of radionuclide imaging techniques.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy in specific patient cohorts.
