Twenty-six randomly selected patients 2-6 years (mean: 3.5) after rapid percutaneous catheteric litholysis at the Radiological Department were investigated by quantitative Ceruletide cholescintigraphy in this pilot study. The average EF of the patients with recurrent gallstones (Group II) was lower (55 +/- 23%) than that of the patients without stones (69 +/- 23%) (Group I). The authors conclude that this scintigraphic method could help not only to select the best method to make patient stonefree but has an important role in forecasting the prognosis of gallstone recovery after litholytic therapy.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002108 Ceruletide A specific decapeptide obtained from the skin of Hila caerulea, an Australian amphibian. Caerulein is similar in action and composition to CHOLECYSTOKININ. It stimulates gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretion; and certain smooth muscle. It is used in paralytic ileus and as diagnostic aid in pancreatic malfunction.
