Demonstration of a bronchobiliary fistula by 99mTc-HIDA cholescintigraphy.
A case of bronchobiliary fistula diagnosed by 99mTc-HIDA cholescintigraphy is presented. The fistula caused by a stenosing tumor of the left hepatic duct would probably have been missed without the use of delayed views and body fluids counting which increased the specificity of scintigraphic findings.
