Abstract
The gallbladder was observed 24 hours after labeled RBC reinjection on a Tc-99m RBC gastrointestinal bleeding site imaging study. In some ca ses, the presence of the tracer in the gallbladder could represent hem atobilia. In other cases, it may also be due to Tc-99m labeled to the porphyrin portion of hemoglobin.
