This report proffers a diagram of radiologic procedures to aid in the diagnosis of traumatic hemobilia and updates the most important radiologic findings of hemobilia to demonstrate the value of the coordinated use of liver scintigraphy and angiography. According to the diagnostic schema, evaluation of biliary tract hemorrhage progresses from plain films through liver scintigraphy and angiography. Depending on the procedure yielding positive results, logical termination or progression is possible at any stage of the work-up.
