HIDA SCAN

Has anyone every had this type of scan before? It's to check for gall bladder problems. I know I will be injected with contrast, and that the test will take about 4 hours. But my doctor told me they would take films, then have me eat sometime, then take more films. The hospital said there was no eating involved. So, just wondered if anyone out there has ever had this done. |

No, not me, but it sounds fascinating. I had a "swallowing" film taken before my dx because I was having a problem with that-I had to swallow some treated liquid for the test.
It didn't show anything, but I got to see a live x-ray of it while it was happening. It was inconclusive.
Will they use an isotope contrast?

My sister in law just had this. She had been suffering with pain for over 6 months and put through many tests and her sister said to ask about this test. It shows gallbladder disease. She said it was a piece a cake and already had surgery.

Thanks to all who responded. I just always like to have a heads-up so I know what to expect.
Happy Sunday!

Hey Monika that sounds interesting especially if you get to see it. Sorry there is a reason to have to go through it though, and I pray they find nothing major. Other wise how are you feeling??
I just had my first chemo,I haven't been sick or anything so far. Thank you Jesus! I dread the hair leaving, this
