The role of 99mtechnetium (Tc) diethyl-iminodiacetic acid (EHIDA) hepatobiliary scintigraphy in the diagnosis of a rare cause of obstructive jaundice.
This paper illustrates the role of 99m-Technetium(Tc) diethyl-iminodiacetic acid (EHIDA) hepatobiliary scintigraphy in a patient who developed obstructive jaundice as a result of afferent loop syndrome, which is a rare occurrence. The computed tomographic (CT) and ultrasonographic findings are also described.
