In patients with a history of trauma or surgery, the common presentations of bile leaks on HBS are a progressive collection of radiotracer outside the biliary system. However, the precise localization of a bile leak is usually not conveyed by noninvasive techniques including CT or ultrasound or even HBS. This...
