cholecystography

Current medical practice prefers ultrasound and CT over oral cholecystography.

If needed, IV cholecystography and cholangiograpy may be done.

Iopanoic acid is an iodine-containing radiocontrast medium used in cholecystography.

Gall bladder function was demonstrated by oral cholecystography.

The trial also compared the efficacy of oral cholecystography and ultrasonagraphy in the diagnosis/detection of recurrent stones.

Tyropanoic acid and its salt sodium tyropanoate are radiocontrast agents used in cholecystography (X-ray diagnosis of gallstones).

Oral cholecystography is a procedure used to visualize the gallbladder by administering, by mouth, a radiopaque contrast agent that is excreted by the liver.

Until the late 1970s gall bladder disease has generally been diagnosed by oral cholecystography or intravenous biligraphy, but during the 1980s ultra sonography has become the preferred treatment.

Moreover, together with Dr. Warren Henry Cole, Graham developed the technique of cholecystography, the first procedure for imaging the gallbladder and detecting the presence of cholelithiasis.

Pretreatment investigations included a history and full physical examination, blood chemistry evaluation (clotting parameters, amylase, alkaline phosphatase and aminotransferase concentrations, and a complete blood cell count), abdominal ultrasonography (Ultramark 8, ATL), and oral cholecystography.

Acetrizoate was developed by V.H. Wallingford of Mallinckrodt, and introduced in 1950; it was employed as a contrast agent for several radiographic studies, including pyelography, angiography of the brain, carotid arteries and the aorta, and cholecystography.

The transhepatic puncture of the gall bladder has been used for cholecystography and cholangiography, for aspiration of bile or pus for culture in suspected cases of acute cholecystitis or empyema, and for biopsy of lesions within the gall bladder.
