A tomographic evaluation of the non-visualised oral cholecystogram
1Department of Radiology, Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Dublin 7.
Abstract:
Tomographic examination was carried out on 27 patients in whom there was no opacification of the gallbladder after routine cholecystography using a double dose of contrast medium. Decisive findings were present in 24 of these cases. The findings included the presence of radiolucent and opaque calculi within the gallbladder, or within the common bile duct, and dilatation of the common bile duct. In the three cases in which no information was gained by tomography, cystic duct obstruction was found at operation.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
