Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hida-scan/MY00320 Ian, Here's what I could find. I think it is where they inject radioactive dye into an IV and watch it work through the liver ducts and the gall bladder. It can see if there are stones or whatnot... possibly make the decision if an ERCP is needed for therapeutic reasons. That's what I can understand so far. www.caringbridge.org/visit/noahwmartens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
