Discussion Gallbladder disease has been studied with oral cholecystogram, hepatoiminodiacetic acid scan, CT scan, and plain radiographs.
Diagnoses included "heart attack" based on elevated CPK levels, and "gallstones" due to nonvisualization of gallbladder on oral cholecystogram.
Ultrasonography showed normal gallbladders in all patients, but 75% had abnormal findings on hydroxy iminodiacetic acid scans or cholecystograms.
