Abstract

We present two clinical cases illustrating two indications of cholescintigraphy that are purposely very dissimilar to illustrate the panel of application of this technique. The first reported case is a young man who received an auxiliary-liver transplantation for the treatment of fulminant hepatitis, in whom cholescintigraphy enabled to follow the evolution of the graft and the native-liver function and to determine the appropriate time to (gradually) reduce and then cease the antirejection-drug treatment. The second case is a middle-aged man with incapacitating abdominal pain. Cholescintigraphy related pain to a dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi.
