Abstract
Relatively noninvasive methods for the evaluation of the biliary system (such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, oral cholangiography, and intravenous cholecystography) provide excellent anatomic information. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy adds information on regional hepatic function, biliary flow, and drainage. The specific indications for hepatobiliary scintigraphy in children include the following: differentiation between biliary atresia and hepatitis in jaundiced newborns; evaluation of older children with right upper quandrant pain; postoperative evaluation of patients after the Kasai procedure and other abdominal interventions; and evaluation of right upper quadrant masses (Table 9-1).
