title: [Instrumental follow-up of patients treated by internal biliary drainage].
abstract: The various radiological techniques available for the long-term follow-up of patients given definitive percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary implants (DTBI) are evaluated on the basis of personal experience. After a rapid examination of the available technics it is concluded that direct X-ray, echotomography and sequential hepatobiliary scintigraphy are more than sufficient for an accurate follow-up of the disease in such patients.
