Yes it was a HidaScan. They said they didn't find anything wrong. Maybe it was functional and that's all that they looked at and figured it's ok. Not looking at the percentage of function. Sometimes I wonder if the technician that writes the report from the scans/ x rays knows what they are talking about. I'm going to have another one done or get another opinion from another doctor for more tests. Thanks so much!!
Hello,
I believe the scan you are referring to is a HIDA scan. I had that procedure many years ago to find out my gallbladder needed to be removed. The scan showed that the gallbladder was 29% functioning. At the time of surgery it had quit functioning. So it was a good thing I had surgery or it would have been on an emergency basis. My symptoms felt like I had a golf ball sitting under my right breast when I was sitting.
Good luck, take care.
Your welcome. Best of luck to you and don't take no for an answer. If you have to push your doctor for the testing then do so. We are our own best health advocates.
