HIDA Scan...: Hida scan involves IV injection of a tc tracer. The tracer doesn't cause any side effects. Physicians look to be sure that the gallbladder and bowel fill with tracer to rule out cystic duct (cholecystitis) or common bile duct obstruction. Hida is performed with or without cck. Cck is helpful for chronic conditions to determine a gallbladder ejection fraction. Cck may cause cramping or pain.

HIDA scan: The test you are referring to is called a hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan). It can have several variations such as to test how well your gallbladder contracts. This is commonly referred to as a HIDA scan with CCK (cholecystokinin).
