GB not visualized: If the gallbladder is not visualized within 4 hours after the injection it indicates that there is either cholecystitis or cystic duct obstruction. HIDA scan for acute cholecystitis has a sensitivity of 97%, Specificity of 94%. Tracer not visualized in intestines means common bile duct obstruction.
Why did my gallbladder not show up on HIDA scan?
GB not visualized: If the gallbladder is not visualized within 4 hours after the injection it indicates that there is either cholecystitis or cystic duct obstruction. HIDA scan for acute cholecystitis has a sensitivity of 97%, Specificity of 94%. Tracer not visualized in intestines means common bile duct obstruction.
How accurate is a HIDA scan for gallbladder?
Literature has shown that ultrasound has a sensitivity of 84-97% for diagnosing cholelithiasis [6], and a more variable sensitivity ranging from 48-94% for diagnosing acute cholecystitis [6, 8, 9]. On the contrary, HIDA scan has a sensitivity of 86-100% for diagnosing acute cholecystitis [6, 8, 9].
