AB  - Postsurgical bile leaks can be associated with significant morbidity and even 
      mortality, if not identified and treated at an early phase. Hepatobiliary 
      iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan is an important test for detection of bile leaks 
      in the postoperative abdomen. However, the lack of anatomical details on planar 
      images can make interpretation difficult, especially in the setting of altered 
      postsurgical anatomy. Familiarity with the expected postoperative appearance on 
      HIDA scan and correlation with SPECT/CT or other imaging modalities when 
      available are very important. The purpose of this review is to describe the 
      expected findings on HIDA scan after common major abdominal surgeries that 
      involve a change in biliary tree anatomy, and illustrate how to identify biliary 
      leaks and avoid interpretation pitfalls.
