A member asked:
What are the tests to examine gallbladders to check for problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most common: Test for gallbladder is an ultrasound. Blood tests can be helpful. Ct scan does not see the inside of the gallbladder well as most gallstones are not visible by x-ray. Sometimes a hida scan can be used to evaluate the gallbladder function.
