I have had several test ,including a small bowel follow tru, gastric emptying, upper GI, endoscopy,colonoscopy, MRI and HIDA scan. and the only test that showed anything abnormal at all was the gastric emptying and the doctor said it was delayed in emptying but that this was not my problem. is it possible for the MRI and HIDA scan to be normal and it still be my Gallbladder? has this happened to anyone else.
Yes you can go back to regular routine, although if you are having a HIDA scan becasue of gallbladder issues, alcohol is one of the worst things you can consume.
Is it normal to have that much bowel gas that the abdominal aorta cannot be seen. I still have pains in my abdomen. Should I ask for a MRI or CT scan to further investigate my pain? I also had a Hida Scan of my gallbladder with the results being 90% ejection fraction rate at 30 minutes, and I am 43 years old. Thanks in advance...
I HAVE HAD FULLNESS PRESSURE AND LIKE A BLOWN UP BALLOON FEELING ON MY LEFT SIDE FOR 3 MONTHS ITS DRIVING ME INSANE I HAD BREAST CANCER 2 YEARS AGO SO OF COURSE I THIN CANCER MY DOCTOR DOESNT WANT TO SEE ME ANYMORE SHE SAYS THERES NOTHING WRONG BUTTTT I DISAGREE I HAVE HAD AN XRAY OF MY STOMACH CHEST CT SCAN WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST COLONOSCOPY ENDOSCOPY 3 SETS OF BLOOD WORK AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A HYITAL NERNIA AND GALLSTONE BUT THATS NOT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS NO PAIN JUST DISCOMFORT
I am just thinking if its in the function of gallbladder will this MRI really show anything, My GI is sending me to another GI that speacializes in ERCP and manomentry but takes forever here in Canada so dont go until January. Will they still do an ERCP if MRI is clear... I really just want to feel normal again..its taken away from me playing sports and really just living my normal life. Thanks in advance.
Had 3 ultrasounds, Hida Scan and MRI - no stones or sludge showing up and all results normal. Gastroscopy showed only mild gastritis, everything else normal.
Several blood tests for liver function have been done with elevated GGT each time.
Pain in right side, just off center and going under ribs to the side and also the back (between shoulder blades).
Pain every day (some days mild with more pain as the day goes on, and some days a lot of pain all day).
I had my gallbladder removed 4 years ago. I have not experienced any problems other than having more gas. However, I was having sever attacks.
Hida scan they inject you with a dye to make the gallbladder show up. and then inject you with CCK and that makes the gallbladder retract and see how it functions. I had an MRI done and they found a stone. I also has a ultra sound and CT scan done nothing showed there.
I did have my gallbladder out in 2006. I noticed that when I get an MRI or ct scan done that they state there are surgical clips. Could the the clips cause pain? Also I have a red blotchiness on my tummy. Is it okay?

So far I have had an ultrasound (no stones), endoscopy (no problems), celiac test (negative) and a HIDA scan (GEF of 92%). My GI wants to do a MRI next. Last weekend I ran into an old acquaintance who had the exact same symptoms and test results. She suffered a year before she found a doctor who helped her. He diagnosed her with overactive gallbladder due to her high GEF (95%). She had her gallbladder removed three weeks ago and her symptoms are gone.
Hi. I'm not sure where to begin. For the past few months I have been having horrible upper right sided abdominal pain. I've had a gallbladder ultrasound and HIDA scan done, both showing everything to be normal. My gallbladder was said to be slightly enlarged but no gallstones are present. During the HIDA scan, I was in horrible pain during the second hour of the test, after they injected me with the hormone to stimulate & "squeeze" my gallbladder.
I am scheduled for a HIDA scan on Sept. 4 and it will test the function of my gallbladder. Do you have any gastro issues with it? Have you had another transvaginal ultrasound to ensure the ovarian cyst is gone? It can also cause this kind of pain.
The hypoechoic area seen on the liver ultrasound was not seen on MRI. MRI was with and without contrast. A tiny gallbladder polyp was seen on MRI. MRI report stated that the hypoechoic area on ultrasound not seen on MRI may have been artifactual. MRI report also stated that other abdominal organs were normal and other than the fatty area liver was normal.
1 is this a good outcome???
2. is liver measured during MRI as per ultrasound it was enlgarged?

I recently got out of the hospital for an attack of acute pancreatitis. They did a cat scan, MRI and EDG and couldn't find the cause of my attack. The cat scan and MRI showed that I had multiple lymph nodes in my retroperitoneum. They were under 10mm on the cat scan but as large as 17mm on the MRI. I'm a 41 year old female and I don't have a history of alcohol abuse. I smoked for 25 years but I quit after having this attack.
I then had an upper GI, which showed GERD, so I was referred to a gastroenterologist. He has since ordered an EGD, a CT scan, and an MRI, all of which were negative for everything except a small cyst on my liver, which he said is not what is causing my pain. I asked about a HIDA scan, but he said that he is "not a fan" of them because if it comes back abnormal it doesn't really mean anything. Also, my lipase level is slightly elevated at 421.
MRI scan report is possibility of ca gallbladder with liver invasion and porta hepatis extension with vascular encasement should be considered.
I have been bloated with a lot of burping for the last 7 months. My Dr thought this was from acid reflux but I had an EGD that was normal and meds did not help at all. Tbe symptoms are now worse. Daily bloating and burping with occasional nausea and mild abdominal pain. Dr said he didn't think these were gallbladder symptoms but ordered a hida scan that showed a 44 % ejection fraction. Which I believe is low normal.
I am 43 year old female with bad pain on right side under my ribs, alot of burping!!!! I have been scheduled for a HIDA scan on Nov. 12th. I am very nervous about everything but the thought of radioactive meds. injected into my body really bothers me. I have tried to find info but it's not very helpful. If anyone has been through this can yu tell me if there were any side affects to the radiation? Alos my mother has Graves diesease so I am concerned this could hurt my thyroid.
I was worried about pancreas related diseases, as I drank every night for many years. My gastro doctor thinks the malabsorption is being caused by a faulty gallbladder of which he used the label "bililary dyskenesia" which when I read up on, is not really a diagnosis but the idea that "there is something that's not pumping bile right".
For me, I had two years of pain before I got a second opinion. In my situation, CT was normal, MRI was normal, blood was normal. Ultasound with CCK - normal... Surgeon said "I can't just take your gallbladder out without evidence"
Two weeks later I got a second opinion after this two years of madness and ER visits with severe URQ pain vomiting and mild fevers. This new doctor said "Its your gallbladder and I'm going to prove it".
t do because of extreme claustrophobia, then an ERCP which had undefined as the result, and finally a HIDA scan which showed the results that my gallbladder only had an 11% ejection rate. After the HIDA scan I have not been able to contact the surgeon or gallbladder specialist and my symptoms have continued and some have worsened. When having extreme pain some days it leads to nausea and vomiting to some times foaming at the mouth when vomiting.
