Clin Nucl Med. 1987 Mar;12(3):223-5. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198703000-00016.

Abstract

An elderly patient presenting with acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting underwent a hepatobiliary scan. This demonstrated normal filling of the gallbladder but dilatation of the small bowel, which was found to correspond radiographically to partial small bowel obstruction.
