Hepatic scintigraphy in Caroli's disease.
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.
