The fatty meal and acalculous gall-bladder disease.
The practice of routinely obtaining after fatty meal films during oral cholecystography has been questioned. A retrospective analysis of 45 cases of adenomyomatosis or polyps revealed that, in 28% of patients with adenomyomatosis, the gall-bladder appeared entirely normal before fat. It is concluded that, for the detection of acalculous gall-bladder disease, the fatty meal should be a routine part of oral cholecystography.
