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.
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 .

[1] [2] [3] It results from a slow, progressive destruction of the small bile ducts of the liver, causing bile and other toxins to build up in the liver, a condition called cholestasis.

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.
