01
Overview
The hepatobiliary system, comprising the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts, is evaluated through various diagnostic imaging modalities. These techniques assess the structure and function of these organs to diagnose diseases and guide treatment. Imaging modalities include nuclear medicine scans (HIDA scans), ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and MRCP. Radiotracers (e.g., 99mTc-IDA derivatives) are used in nuclear medicine to visualize bile flow. Contrast agents are used in CT and MRI to enhance anatomical detail. Imaging helps detect gallstones, tumors, abscesses, biliary obstruction, and assess liver function.
