[Study of the contractile function of the gallbladder using cholescintigraphy].

The motor activity of the gall bladder was studied using cholescintigraphy with 99m Tc-HIDA in 57 patients with chronic cholecystitis and chronic hepatitis and in 9 controls. A comparative analysis of the curves activity-time based upon the elements of images of the external contour and the entire zone of the gall bladder, made it possible to reveal differences in the type of reaction of the gall bladder to the use of cholagogic stimulators (cholecystokinin i.v. and cholagogic breakfast). A method of the processing of the results made it possible to determine the number of contraction phases of the gall bladder during its emptying as well as the true latent period and the period of primary reactions of the biliferous apparatus after taking a food stimulus.
