Real-time ultrasongraphy is a simple, accurate, noninvasive and potentially valuable means of studying gallbladder size and emptying. The authors calculated ultrasonographically the ejection fraction of 80 cases of normally functioning gallbladder on oral cholecystography, from June 1983 to April 1984, at the department of radiology, Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Ultrasongraphic Ejection Fraction at 30 minutes after the fatty meal was 73.1+-16.85. 2. There was no significant difference in age and sex, statistically.

Since 1929, the iodine compounds were used intravenous pyelogram by the Swick, it was accepted for the use of intravenous pyelogram in the worldwide. Nevertheless, it has several minor and major side reactions, also it has been used to IVP or cholecystography at X-ray room without prepared for side reaction or resuscitation. We have experienced a case of sever hypersensitivity reaction with the urografin during IVP at X-ray room. Here, we review with the several articles including its etiology, symptoms and treatments. Especially, we classified the mild and severe reactionsby David and Frederick from Table 1 Table 6. Furthermore we considered that t is necessary to prepared the resuscitating instruments during IVP with urografin under local or general anesthesia.

A double gallbladder is a condition that arises during the fetal period due to the abnormal differentiation of presumptive gallbladder cells, which causes two separate gallbladders, each with their own cystic duct. Most cases are diagnosed incidentally during surgery. Detailed preoperative investigations (ultrasound, oral cholecystography, intravenous cholangiography, CT, ERCP and MRCP) are required for an accurate preoperative diagnosis before considering a cholecystectomy to avoid inadvertent damage to the biliary ductal system and to overlook the second gallbladder during surgery. A total cholecystectomy, with removal of both gallbladders, should be the appropriate treatment for a double gallbladder to avoid complications and a reoperation. We report a patient with an accessory gallbladder, originating from right hepatic duct, and also discuss the characeristics of this rare anomaly.

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is Characterized by hyperplastic changes including overgrowth of the mucosa, thickening of the muscle wall, and intramural diverticula, crypts, or sinus tracts(Rokitaasky-Aschoff sinuses). The main diagnostic test for the detection of this disease is oral cholecystography but it's use is being decreased. Recently, Ultrasound, ERCP, and CT have been used for diagnosis. We present a report of case in whom ademomyomatosis of gallbladder was disgnosed on ultrasound and ERCP and confirmed by surgery. The essential feactures of ultrasound and ERCP diagnosis are discussed.

Congenital duplication of the gallbladder, including true duplication and septated gallbladder, is an uncommon but potentially complicated malformation. It presents biliary colic associated with acute or chronic cholecystitis. It can be diagnosed preoperatively by various imaging tools such as real-time ultrasonography, biliary scintigraphy, oral cholecystography, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. It can be safely managed by either laparoscopic or open procedures. This report describes a 6-year-old girl with true duplication of gallbladder diagnosed preoperatively by real-time ultrasonography and treated by open cholecystectomy.

7.The Clinical Usefulness of NP-59 Scintigraphy in Adrenal Cortical Diseases.
Korean Journal of Nuclear Medicine 1997;31(1):108-115
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely in most patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis. Preoperative evaluation should assess the potential problems that affect the performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy or oral cholecystography can assess the gallbladder function and nonvisualization of gall bladder usually indicates acute or severe chronic cholecystitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of preoperative hepatobiliary scintigraphy or oral cholecystography in predicting the performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study group consists of 176 patients who underwent both hepatobiliary scintigraphy with Tc-99m DISIDA and oral cholecystography within one month before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Nonvisualization of gallbladder was defined as persistent nonvisualization of gall- bladder until 4 hours on hepatobiliary scintigraphy or 12 hours on oral cholecystography. Among 176 patients, gallbladder was not visualized in 38 patients on hepatobiliary scintigraphy and 41 patients on oral cholecystography, Concordance rate between hepatobiliary scintigraphy and oral cholecystography was 89.2%. The conversion rate to open cholocystectomy was significantly higher in patients with nonvisualization of gallbladder than in patients with gallbladder visualization(15.8% vs 2.9% on hepatobiliary scintigraphy, 12.2% vs 3.7% on oral cholecystography: p<0.01 and p<0.05 respectively). The operative complication rate was also significantly higher in patients with nonvisualization of gallbladder (13.2% vs 2.9% on hepatobiliary scintigraphy, 14.6% vs 2.2% on. oral cholecystography : p<0.0l and p<0.001, respectively). Similarly, operation time was significantly prolonged in patients with nonvisualization of gall bladder (88.8+/-41.9min vs 62.5+/-23.6min on hepatobiliary scintigraphy : p<0.001, 89.4+/-41.3 min vs 61.8+/-22.8 min on oral cholecystography : p<0.001). It is concluded that nonvisualization of gallblader on hepato biliary scintigraphy or oral cholecystography is a valuable preoperative clincal risk factor in predicting increased conversion rate to open cholecystectomy, increased operative complication and prolonged operation time.

131I-6beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol(NP-59) has an advantage to assess adrenal dysfunction caused by adrenal cortical disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of NP-59 scintigraphy in each adrenral disease. Ten patients who did eleven NP-59 adrenal scintigraphies at Dong-A University Hospital from March 1990 to December 1996 were selected as the subject. Among the subject there were 5 cases of Cushing's syndrome, 2 cases of incidentaloma, 1 case of metastatic adrenal tumor, liver cirrhosis with hirsutism and hypertension respectively. Among 5 case of Cushing's syndrome, there were 2 cases of Cushing's disease, 2 cases of adrenal adenoma and 1 case of adrenal carcinoma. There are no disagreement between clinical diagnosis and scan finding in Cushing's syndrome. In 2 incidentaloma cases, even though one is interpretated as a functioning tumor, both of 2 cases could avoid unnecessary biopsy according to scintigraphy result. One case of hirsutism, clinically adrenal originated, revealed the normal scintigraphic hirsutism was extra-adrenal origin. One case of hypertension took the study to exclude the possibility of primary aldosteronism. Normal suppression scan finding revealed that primary aldosteronism did not exist in this case. In conclusion, NP-59 scintigraphy was very useful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome and it could avoid unnecessary biopsy in the incidental adrenal tumor.

Oral cholecystography is one of the most relible and widely used x-ray examination which enables us to observe not only morphological features of the gallbladder (GB) but also its functioning state. It was disclosed that functional evaluation of the GB is mandatory to recognize such kinetic disorders of the viscus as acalculous cholecystitis or dyskinesia. For the purpose of functional evaluation, fat meal has been used traditionally. Recently, cholecystokinin(CCK) and ceruletide were introduced into clinical diagnosis of the GB, the usefulness of which we have confirmed. In the present study we have made an attempt at improving cholecystagogic effect of conventional fat meals(FM) such as whole mild and egg yolk by changing the posture of the examined from sitting up to right decubitus position after the ingestion of fat meal. The hypothesis involved in this study is that the presence of quantitatively more fat meal in the duodenum per unit time may result in more effective cholecystagogic action and such a setting would be created by enhancement of pyloric passage of fat meal by decubitus posturing. Clinical materials consisted of 280 normal oral GB series (136 males and 144 females) andthey were divided into 4 equally numbered groups of mild sitting and mild decubitus and egg sitting and eggdecubitus. Upon confirming satisfactory opacification of the GB 11 hours after the ingestion of 3g of sodiumipodate or iopanoci acid either 2 pieces of medium sized hen's egg yolk were given. The xaminess were then allowed either sitting up comfortably on a bench or lying down on the right flank on a couch. After the ingestion of fat mean, x ray was taken at the end of 30 minutes in all but the mild decubitus group in which x rays were taken serially at the end of 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The frontal area of each opacified GB was measured by using aplanimeter and the contraction rate before and after fat meal stimulation was calculated by the following equation and delineation of the biliary tree was analyzed in each group. Contraction rate (%) = (1

Oral cholecystogaraphy after ingestaion of the 3.0 gr. Sodium tyropanoate (Bilopaque) was done in 504 patiens from Jan. 1983 to Aug. 1983. Simple supine views of the abdomen of 37 patient, in whom the gall bladder was eithrer nonvisualized or faintly visualized upto 17 houurs after Bilopaque administration, were reviewed in search of the presence of conjugatd material in the bowel. The results were as follows; 1. The ratio of male to female was nearly 2:3, and age distribution was even from 20 years to 79 years. 2. Among 26 cases which showed conjugated Bilopaque in the bowel, cholecystitis with stoens was 20 cases(77% and acalculus cholecystitis was 6 cases(23%).3. Among 11 cases which showed no conjugated Bilopaque in the bowel hepatitis was 3 cases (28%) and clonorchis sinensis, salmonellosis, pancreatitis, acute gastrities was 2 cases (13%) respectively. 4. All of the 20 cases of cholecystitis with stone showed conjugated Bilopaque in the bowel. 5. Among 6 cases of which conjugated Bilopaquein the bowel, salmonellosis was 1 case(17%) and remaining 5 cases (83%) were acalculus cholelcystitis. 6. The results of our study show that the presence of conjugated Bilopaque in the bowel in nonvisualized or faintly visualized gall bladder after oral cholecystography is of definite indicative of cholecystitis. 7. Surgical intervention or ultrasonographic examination of the gall bladder without double dose or second dose oral cholecystography on such cases is recommended.
