Q: what is high ejection fraction on hida scan and what causes it? does this mean my liver is bad?

: A high ejection fraction in a hida scan is good. Anything over 35% indicates normal contraction of the gall bladder with stimulus (like food). This is used to detect gall bladder disease. It has little to do directly with the liver cells.
