A member asked:
What's the name of the medicine they inject in you during a hida scan for gall bladder? not the radioactive one but the other one
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Cholecystokinine: The radioactive material injected during a hida scan is the 99mtc-hida while the non -radioactive part is usually cholecystokinine which will be helpful to evaluate the degree of contraction and the ejection fraction of the gallbladder. Sometimes, in acute conditions, morphine can also be administered.
