Abstract
The use of quantitative 99Tcm-EHIDA imaging with cholecystokinin and the measurement of gall bladder ejection fraction in a prospective study of 89 patients with right upper quadrant pain is described. Correlation with surgical and histological findings and clinical follow-up suggests that gall bladder ejection fraction < or = 35% is a reliable and accurate indicator of acalculous gall bladder disease.Keywords
