| Abstract: | Rapid dynamic sequential scintigraphy of the abdomen with 99mTc-tin-colloid and 99mTc-HIDA has been used to evaluate two patients with portal hypertension. 99mTc-tin-colloid was useful for visualisation of diliated vessels in the abdomen. Radionuclide hepatobiliary imaging was useful in such cases in evaluation of the hepatobiliary system. |
