The value of HIDA scanning in intestinal fistulae.
Intestinal fistulae have been outlined using the delayed phase of Tc-99m labelled HIDA. The technique involved is simple, safe and easily reproducible. This method has advantages over conventional radiography particularly for the leaking duodenal stump and involves minimal disturbance to the patient.
