title: Gallbladder localization fo 131I-19-iodocholesterol; a pitfall in adrenal imaging.
abstract: Gallbladder concentration of 131I-iodocholesterol was observed in a patient studied for localization of adrenal activity. Misinterpretation of gallbladder activity as right adrenal function is possible if a lateral view is not obtained. The exposure of gallbladder mucosa may occasionally be far higher than the remainder of the biliary tract.
