ABSTRACT
Technetium-99m pyridoxylideneglutamate biliary scans were performed in 19 normal subjects in both the fasted and nonfasted state. The effect of eating was to reduce visualization of the gallbladder from 100% (fasted) to 47% (nonfasted). The common bile duct was seen in 84% on both occasions but intrahepatic and cystic ducts were seen less frequently in the nonfasted group. Preparation of patients by fasting is essential if information concerning gallbladder function is sought.
