Procedure. There are many methods for measuring body temperature. The most common method is oral temperature. The thermometer must be placed beneath the tongue to one side and the lips must be closed around it tightly. Allow it to remain inside for the necessary period of time. Remove and then read the measurement.
During a HIDA Scan a scanner monitors the radioisotope that was initially injected. When (CCK) cholecystokinin, a hormone that's normally released by the body after a meal, is injected, the contraction of the gallbladder is identified on the scan. Reduced contraction (which often produces pain) may mean anything from actual gallbladder disease/dysfunction, to inflammation or scarring.
The total amount of time in the CT scanner is usually a few minutes. The contrast dye injection may cause a slight temporary burning sensation in the arm, metallic taste in the mouth, or whole body warmth. This is a normal occurrence and will disappear in a few seconds. Otherwise, the CT scan is painless.
