Radionuclide fetal imaging: radio-activity in the fetal bladder confirmed by ultrasound after maternal hepato-biliary scanning.
Hepato-biliary scanning with 99mTc-P.G. demonstrated in a jaundiced patient at 31 weeks pregnancy the filling of the fetal bladder 6 h after injection. This finding was confirmed by ultrasound. Fetal urinary bladder activity was seen until 33 h after injection. Fetal hepatic radio-activity could not be displayed although the localisation of the fetal liver was marked by ultrasound.
