Abstract
99m Technetium IDA (99m Tc-IDA) hepatobiliary imaging was used as a diagnostic procedure in children with suspected biliary trauma. A total of eleven 99mTc-IDA examinations were performed in eight children and correlated with the standard radiographs, 99mTc sulfur colloid liver scans, ultrasonographic studies and the clinical course. This technique is recommended in children who are clinically stable and in whom trauma to the biliary system is suspected. The 99mTc-IDA images accurately indicate parenchymal and bile duct injury.
