Abstract:
A case of Caroli's disease is presented and the findings of various imaging modalities are discussed with emphasis on the role of Technetium 99mTc diethyl-iminodiacetic acid scan in reaching the final diagnosis. The 'beaded' appearance of the dilated intrahepatic ducts seen in this scan is believed to be pathognomonic for this condition.
