Differential diagnosis of jaundice with hepatobiliary scintigraphy

Hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) is a well established non invasive procedure for the differential diagnosis of intra-and extrahepatic jaundice. Clinical impact of hepatobiliary scintigraphy increased since the introduction of the 99mTc labeled hepatobiliary imaging agents by Loberg and coworkers in 1975 [16, 31].
