A member asked:

I had a ct with contrast would this show an infected or inflamed gallbladder?

Probably would: Probably would show but generally for the gallbladder an ultrasound is much better. So if CT is negative and symptoms persist would consider right upper quadrant ultrasound for further evaluation.
