Incidental gallbladder visualization on nonhepatobiliary nuclear medicine studies: case series and review of the literature.

abstract：:The utility of morphine-augmented cholescintigraphy was reviewed in 32 patients with suspected acute cholecystitis. All patients were administered 2 mg morphine sulfate intravenously when the gallbladder failed to visualize 30 minutes into the study, and imaging continued for up to 60 minutes. Sensitivity for detectio...
