  • Title: An abnormal gallbladder presenting as a huge, rounded photon-deficient area in radionuclide hepatobiliary imaging.
    Author: Davis RB, Shih WJ, Stigers K, Fried A.
    Journal: J Natl Med Assoc; 1993 Mar; 85(3):222-4. PubMed ID: 8474137.
    Abstract:
    Tc-99m DISIDA hepatobiliary imaging was used to evaluate a hemophiliac patient presenting with symptoms of acute cholecystitis and gastrointestinal bleeding. There was nonvisualization of this abnormal gallbladder even on 6 1/2-hour delayed DISIDA images. Instead, a huge photon-deficient area was seen in the gallbladder fossa. Ultrasound and computed tomography findings were consistent with an enlarged gallbladder filled with blood.
