Milk chocolate as the fatty meal in oral cholecystography

Four hundred and fifty cholecystograms were assessed regarding the effectiveness of various agents used as the fatty meal. 200 patients were given Arachis oil emulsion, 100 chocolate-Sorbitol preparation, 100 46 g of milk chocolate, and 50 26 g of milk chocolate. The films were assessed for degree of contraction, improvement in opacification, and visualisation of the biliary ducts. No statistically significant difference was found between any of the groups. It is concluded that milk chocolate is an effective palatable and cheap form of fatty meal.
