  • Title: Morphine-augmented cholescintigraphy with a false-negative result and an apparent ectopic gallbladder.
    Author: Bourekas EC, Tupler RH, Turbiner EH.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1992 Dec; 17(12):931-2. PubMed ID: 1464168.
    Abstract:
    Morphine-augmented cholescintigraphy has been shown to be a highly sensitive and specific means of evaluating acute cholecystitis. False-negative results do occur infrequently, however, and such a case is reported. In addition, this case initially demonstrated an apparent ectopic gallbladder, and thus anomalies in location of the gallbladder will be discussed.
