A member asked:
Got to have a hida scan. i know the 1st part is 1hr. but my letter states needs to eat/drink after 1st scan & then another scan for gallbladder. i dont have a gallbladder(removed) so will i need the 2nd part of the test or is this still done anyway?

It depends on why HIDA scan needs to be done in your case because you already had cholecystectomy. You should discuss with the technologist. If the nuclear tracer has been detected in the biliary tract and intestine in the first part of the test then you likely do not need the second part which is done for checking the gallbladder especially. Good luck.
