Measurement of the biliary tree volume in the rate under Tm-conditions.

Biliary tree capacities determined under Tm-conditions using 35S-sulfobromophthalein sodium 35S-sulfobromophthalein glutathione, and 14C-taurocholate sodium as markers exceeded markedly the biliary volumes reported until now. This may have been caused at least partly by a more homogenous distribution of the marker substance throughout the liver parenchyma in contrast to simple bolus injection studies.
