Gallbladder Function Scan With Stimulating Medication

Alabama rates for HCPCS 78227

A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected and tracked as it moves through the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder, and a medication is given during the scan to stimulate the gallbladder so its ability to contract and empty can be measured. It helps evaluate gallbladder function or a possible blockage in the bile ducts.
