Abstract
A model for Rose Bengal transport through the hepatobiliary system has been developed, and non-linear programming techniques have been used to derive the model´s parameters according to actual patient data. The model is then further analyzed as a Markov chain. A system of checks and balances, and measure of error, is discussed.
