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.
What is a HIDA scan? A HIDA scan is a test that can be done to see how well your gallbladder is working. The gallbladder is a small sac that lies under the liver. It stores bile. Small tubes called bile ducts drain bile from the liver into the gallbladder and then into the small intestine. The bile helps you digest fats in the food you eat.
