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.

Alternatively if the gallbladder cannot be seen, then another drug (morphine) may be given to attempt to see the gallbladder. HIDA scans are most commonly used to identify the following: 1  Closed bile ducts.
