Blood pool scintigraphy and arterial embolization in traumatic hemobilia.
Blunt abdominal trauma in a 9-year-old girl caused a subcapsular hematoma in the right liver lobe. One week following surgical evacuation of the hematoma severe hemobilia appeared. Blood pool scintigraphy of the liver demonstrated accumulation in the central part of the right liver lobe. After embolization of the right hepatic artery the bleeding ceased immediately, and blood pool scintigraphy became normal.
