Technetium-99m biliary imaging in pediatric surgical problems

Technetium-99m biliary imaging in pediatric surgical problems

J R Sty et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1981 Oct.

Abstract

The results of scintigraphic imaging of the hepatobiliary system with 99mTc-PIPIDA (IDA derivative p-isopropylacetanilidoiminodiacetic acid) in forty children are reported. 99mTc-PIPIDA imaging is a noninvasive, rapid, safe examination that provides both functional and anatomical information about the hepatobiliary system. Although interpretation is limited by elevated direct serum bilirubin, this agent allows diagnostic information to be obtained with direct serum bilirubin levels up to 8 mg/dl.
