Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy: a multicenter investigation to determine optimal infusion methodology and gallbladder ejection fraction normal values.
UNLABELLED Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy is performed to quantify gallbladder contraction and emptying. However, different infusion methods are used for this study. Our purpose was to determine the infusion method with the least variability (smallest coefficient of variation [CV]) for calculation of the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) in healthy subjects and to establish normal va...
متن کاملNormal values of gallbladder ejection fraction using 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy after a fatty meal formula.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sincalide, in conjunction with cholescintigraphy, is necessary for the diagnosis of chronic acalculous cholecystitis. However sincalide is not widely available. This study investigates the use of a commercially available formula as an inexpensive alternative to sincalide, containing a sufficient and known amount of fat to cause gallbladder contraction, and to determine norma...
متن کاملFunctional hepatobiliary disease: chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease.
Chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease are considered functional hepatobiliary diseases. Cholescintigraphy provides physiologic imaging of biliary drainage, making it ideally suited for their noninvasive diagnosis. For chronic acalculous gallbladder disease, calculation of a gallbladder ejection fraction during sincalide cholescintigraphy can confirm the clinical ...
متن کاملCholecystokinin cholescintigraphy: methodology and normal values using a lactose-free fatty-meal food supplement.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the use of a commercially available lactose-free fatty-meal food supplement, as an alternative to sincalide cholescintigraphy, to develop a standard methodology, and to determine normal gallbladder ejection fractions (GBEFs) for this supplement. METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers all had negative medical histories for hepatobiliary a...
متن کاملComparison of fatty meal and intravenous cholecystokinin infusion for gallbladder ejection fraction.
UNLABELLED Gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) measured with a fatty meal (half-and-half milk) was compared with that measured with 2 equal sequential intravenous infusions of cholecystokinin (CCK-8) in a paired study of healthy subjects. METHODS GBEF was measured by (99m)Tc-hepatic iminodiacetic acid cholescintigraphy in 13 healthy subjects. Each subject received 2 sequential doses of CCK-8...
