Hepatic scintigraphy in Caroli's disease. 1978

J R Sty, and P Sullivan, and R Wagner, and R J Starshak

Caroli's disease (communicating cavernous ectasia of the intrahepatic bile ducts) is manifested on the 99Tc-sulfur colloid images as multiple focal defects in the liver. Since several other conditions have a similar presentation, intravenous or transhepatic cholangiography may be of assistance in reaching the correct diagnosis.
