Description

The hepatobiliary imaging has been used for study of gallbladder and cystic duct disorders but its utility in evaluating dynamics of flow through common bile duct has not been explored. The pattern of curves over CBD and liver in patients with or without patent cystic duct has been studied. Normally the CBD curve shows a steady rise till peak (in 13.7 ± 3.6 min) in 99mTc-EHIDA study followed by the steady fall. The time to peak for CBD curve, transit time from liver to CBD and the pattern of falling portion of the curve provide information about biliary dyskinesia. Moreover, comparison of the rate of fall of the liver curve with pattern of CBD curve further gives diagnostic information about dynamics in CBD. (author)
