ABSTRACT
Hepatobiliary infections account for a small but clinically important proportion of emergency department presentations. They present a clinical challenge due to the broad range of imaging characteristics on presentation. Recognition of complications is imperative to drive appropriate patient care and resource utilization to avoid diagnostic pitfalls and avert adverse patient outcomes. A thorough understanding of anatomy infectious pathology of hepatobiliary system is essential in the emergency setting to confidently diagnose and guide medical intervention. Many presentations of hepatobiliary infection have characteristic imaging features on individual imaging modalities with others requiring the assimilation of findings of multiple imaging modalities along with incorporating the clinical context and multispecialist consultation. Familiarity with the strengths of individual imaging modalities in the radiologists' arsenal is imperative to guide the appropriate utilization of resources, particularly in the emergent time sensitive setting. Accurate identification and diagnosis of hepatobiliary infections is vital for appropriate patient care and management stratification.
