A member asked:

What happens if neither ultrasound or ct show the gallbladder as the cause of my symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CCK stimulated: Hida scan can show abnormal function of the gallbladder, even when ultrasound and ct scan do not show gallstones. Consult with your GI specialist, because further testing would depend on your symptoms.
