Successful treatment of gallstones by oral dissolving agents depends upon a functioning gallbladder. Thirty-one patients were assessed by oral cholecystography and ultrasound before and after a fatty meal. A correlation was demonstrated between radiological opacification and contraction on ultrasound. It is suggested that assessment of gallbladder function may be made by ultrasound methods alone, and an oral cholecystogram is not necessary prior to dissolution therapy.
