Has anyone had one of these for the gall bladder?

How accurate are they?

I'm having one friday. I was told it is a long test up to 4 hours.

Yes. Both of them did not take up to 1.5 hours. My values were 12% & 11% so getting rid of the gallbladder (they used that to qualify me for surgery) and the pain was a blessing. I'm sorry, it was.

Are these scans used for pain when there is no gallbladder? I had mine out 2.5 yrs ago and I am suddenly experiencing terrible aching pains like I did before it was taken out.

I just finished the scan about an hour ago. I had no cramping or nausea. Some gas, but That was it. She said the slower you push in the medicine that makes the gallbladder contract the less of a chance you have with the side effects of the contractions.

After looking at the video of all the comprised pictures hat were taken she said " I'm not the one diagnosing, but I see very little contraction of your gallbladder"

Sooo, I'll be waiting patiently For my surgeons office to call.

Thank you for all your responses :)
