🗑
What visualization technique of the gallbladder uses radioisotopes   Cholescintigraphy- HIDA scan hydroxy iminodiacetic acid scan  
🗑
What does a HIDA scan show   shows gallbladder activity not especially useful for seeing stones though  
🗑
what is cholecystogram   x-ray used to evaluate gallbladder  
🗑

🗑
What will you see on labs if pt has cholelithiasis   normal labs unless obstruction then you get increased alk phos an bilirubin  
🗑
