Hepatobiliary scintigraphy provides a noninvasive assessment of hepatobiliary structure and function, and has been used extensively in people. Hepatocellular measurements determined in the cats of this study include cardiac washout (< or = 2 minutes) and time of maximal hepatic activity (< or = 5 minutes) and hepatic washout (< or = 30 minutes). The gallbladder response to synthetic cholecystokinin was determined to be < or = 3 minutes. Additional measurements also were identified. Potential use of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in feline medicine is discussed.
