Background:Patients referred to general surgeons for the treatment of gall‐bladder stones were studied to evaluate the role of sincalide cholescintigraphy as a gall‐bladder stress test in an effort to identify a group of patients whose pain was non‐biliary in origin and who would not be improved by cholecystectomy.Methods:Ten asymptomatic controls and ...

The effects of intramuscular and intravenous sincalide on gallbladder contraction and visualization of the bile ducts were compared in a group of 37 subjects referred for oral cholecystography. The maximum reduction in gallbladder size observed after sincalide 400 ng/kg intramuscular, 54.7 +/- 7.2% (mean +/- SEM), occurred 25 min after injection and ...

Chemical Stability of Reconstituted Sincalide in Sterile Water Under 2 Different Storage Conditions [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 2020 This study aimed to evaluate the chemical stability of sincalide at 2 common storage conditions-room temperature and refrigeration-in an attempt to simulate the conditions faced during centralized reconstitution and subsequent distribution to regional clinical facilities.

Kinevac (Sincalide for Injection)/Squibb Diagnostics
Gastroenterology Nursing, 1991Sincalide is a rapid-acting, synthetic analog of cholecystokinin for intravenous use in postevacuation cholecystography. Serious reactions to sincalide have not been reported. The intravenous administration of sincalide causes a prompt contraction of the gallbladder as compared to the stimulus of a fatty meal which causes progressive contraction that ...

Sincalide cholescintigraphy was first reported to have clinical utility in 1980. Since then, many publications have found that a reduced gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) can confirm the clinical diagnosis of acalculous chronic gallbladder disease and predict symptomatic relief with cholecystectomy.

Objective To determine if use of the oral cholecystagogue, Ensure Plus (EP), in hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) leads to a similar distribution of normal and abnormal gallbladder ejection fractions (GBEFs) versus other historical secondary findings of chronic biliary disease in a similar patient population compared with the ...

Practical Hepatobiliary Imaging Using Pretreatment with Sincalide in 139 Hepatobiliary Studies
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1985Hepatobiliary studies were performed over a three-year period on 139 patients suspected of having cystic duct obstruction. Each patient was infused intravenously with sincalide, a C-terminal octapeptide of CCK, 15 minutes prior to the administration of the hepatobiliary imaging agent Tc-99m paraisopropyl iminodiacetic acid (PIPIDA).

An 82-year-old man had his third episode of melanotic stool. Two previous workups had failed to localize the source of bleeding. A Tc-99m labeled RBC scan visualized the gallbladder early in the study. Administration of sincalide visually decreased the activity, confirming gallbladder activity.

Artificial Intelligence in Sincalide-Stimulated Cholescintigraphy: A Pilot Study
Clinical Nuclear MedicinePurpose: Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy (SSC) calculates the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) to diagnose functional gallbladder disorder. Currently, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven workflows that integrate real-time image processing and organ function calculation remain unexplored in nuclear medicine practice ...
