  • Title: False-negative morphine-augmented cholescintigraphy in a patient with gangrenous cholecystitis.
    Author: Yeo EE, Low JC, Azizi F.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1992 Dec; 17(12):929-30. PubMed ID: 1464167.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous morphine sulfate is commonly used to shorten study time and has been reported not to lower the specificity of hepatobiliary imaging. Although the false-negative rate is low, caution has to be taken in interpreting morphine-enhanced cholescintigraphy. The report presents a false-negative study in a patient with acute gangrenous cholecystitis.
