AB  - There have been evolutionary changes in the management of pathological conditions 
      of the hepatobiliary system over recent years, particularly with an increasing 
      emphasis on modern hepatobiliary surgical techniques. Concurrent advances have 
      occurred in imaging technology and availability, leading to a greater use of 
      ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance 
      imaging (MRI) in the primary evaluation of hepatobiliary disease. Radionuclide 
      imaging using technetium(99m) (Tc(99m)) hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) 
      derivatives is an established technique that complements morphological imaging, 
      providing valuable functional information in both pre- and postoperative 
      evaluation of patients with suspected or known hepatobiliary disease. This review 
      discusses the current clinical indications for Tc(99m) HIDA scintigraphy using 
      clinical cases to demonstrate how this technique continues to play a valuable 
      diagnostic role in the assessment of the functional integrity of the 
      hepatobiliary system.
