All of the hepatobiliary visualization agents previous to mebrofenin have the same structural composition with changes only of the substituants on the phenyl ring of the lidocaine analogue molecules. Mebrofenin's fast hepatic excretion (t ½ =17 minutes) and high hepatic uptake (98.1%) can be attributed to the 3-bromo-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl moiety.
The system is usually referred to as the biliary tract or system, [9] and can include the use of the term "hepatobiliary" when used to refer just to the liver and bile ducts. [1] The name biliary tract is used to refer to all of the ducts, structures and organs involved in the production, storage and secretion of bile. [10] The tract is as follows:
Sincalide is a cholecystokinetic drug administered by injection to aid in diagnosing disorders of the gallbladder and pancreas.It is the 8-amino acid C-terminal fragment of cholecystokinin, and also known as CCK-8.
Cholescintigraphy or hepatobiliary scintigraphy is scintigraphy of the hepatobiliary tract, including the gallbladder and bile ducts. The image produced by this type of medical imaging , called a cholescintigram , is also known by other names depending on which radiotracer is used , such as HIDA scan , PIPIDA scan , DISIDA scan , or BrIDA scan .
Enterohepatic circulation of drugs. Enterohepatic circulation is the circulation of biliary acids, bilirubin, drugs or other substances from the liver to the bile, followed by entry into the small intestine, absorption by the enterocyte and transport back to the liver.

The cystohepatic triangle (or hepatobiliary triangle or Calot's triangle) is an anatomic space bordered by the cystic duct laterally, the common hepatic duct medially, and the inferior surface of the liver superiorly. Cystohepatic triangle, marked with green. The cystic artery lies within the hepatobiliary triangle.
Hepatology, or hepatobiliary medicine, encompasses the study of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tree, and is traditionally considered a sub-specialty of gastroenterology, while proctology encompasses disorders of the anus, rectum, and colon and is considered a sub-specialty of general surgery.
