Radiological concepts of cholecystokinin cholecystography. 1975

M P Parks

Cholecystokinin-cholecystography originated in Stockholm in 1955. At the present time the radiological procedure is conducted under supervision of medical research teams in the United States. The cholecystokininpancreozymin preparation is imported for clinical investigation under "Investigational Drug" regulations. Dr. Donald Hanscom, gastroenterologist, who is conducting clinical investigations in the Midwest, submitted radiographs, publications and evaluations from his files for this manuscript. This gastrointestinal hormone "squeezes out a diagnosis" as it is observed fluoroscopically. Dr. LeRoy B. Garbe, radiologist, evaluates these findings in the cases presented. The effects of cholecystokinin on the contrast-filled gall bladder give enhanced diagnostic information for the patient suffering with chronic cholecystitis and cystic ductitis.

D002766	Cholecystokinin	A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

D002908	Chronic Disease	Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
