Sincalide-Stimulated Cholescintigraphy: What Is the Standard? [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2010 TO THE EDITOR: The article by Ziessman et al. adds to the further understanding of gallbladder physiology and the effect of cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulation ( [1][1] ). They suggest considering a 38% gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) as the lower limit of normal for a 0.02 μg/kg infusion of ...

Cholecystokinetic cholecystography: efficacy and tolerance study of sincalide [PDF]
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1976 The intravenous administration of sincalide, the C-terminal octapeptide fragment of cholecystokinin, affords safe and effective means for gallbladder contraction with resultant cystic and common bile duct visualization. Intravenous sincalide circumvents the problem of unpredictability of response of the gallbladder to a fatty meal and variability in ...

Reply: Sincalide-Stimulated Cholescintigraphy: What Is the Standard? [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2010 REPLY: The purpose of our investigation was to determine a sincalide infusion methodology that has the least variability (lowest coefficient of variation) by comparing 3 methods (15-, 30-, and 60-min infusions of 0.02 μg/kg) and to establish reference values ( [1][1] ).
