Hepatobiliary scintigraphy provides a rapid, noninvasive, accurate means of assessing patients after biliary tract surgery. This is especially important, given the high incidence of biliary and enteric diseases. In this review article, the role of radionuclide imaging in postcholecystectomy and postgastroenteric surgery patients will be examined, as well as following invasive procedures and trauma.
