  • Title: Use of glucagon in cholescintigraphy.
    Author: Karimeddini MK, Spencer RP, Mucci DA.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1984 Jun; 9(6):332-3. PubMed ID: 6540637.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented in which intravenous administration of glucagon, presumably by relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi, facilitated the transit of a hepatobiliary radiopharmaceutical from the gallbladder into the bowel. This approach is likely more feasible than food intake and at least theoretically safer than cholecystokinin administration. Further studies are needed to assess the actual usefulness of this intervention.
