signals acute cholecystitis. This imaging fi nding raises the likelihood of more complicated or advanced gallbladder disease (Lamont et al. 1996 ). There may be an associated incomplete common bile duct stricture or a common bile duct stone in chronic calculous cholecystitis; radioactivity in the small intestine excludes complete or high-grade common bile duct obstruction (Meesala et al. 2006 ; Panjrath et al. 2004 ).
As for the MPI report, it should document the absence of gallbladder visualiza­tion when there is confi dence in this fi nding (e.g., the gallbladder fossa is included in the fi eld-of-view). Two sample reports follow:
The gallbladder is not visualized, consistent with history of cholecystectomy.
The gallbladder is not visualized; this is an unexpected, abnormal fi nding. Recent ultraso-
nography demonstrated gallstones. Differential diagnosis includes acute or chronic calcu-
lous cholecystitis. The fi nding and differential diagnosis were discussed personally with the
referring physician at the time of interpretation.

Fig. 20.3 “Beating gallbladder.” Note how the gallbladder appears to be fl uttering throughout both acquisitions ( a , b ); this is a clue to right hemidiaphragmatic breathing motion which could lead to motion artifact on processed SPECT MPI. The gallbladder should be stationary; however, the small intestinal activity should change with normal peristalsis as seen here ( a , b ).

Fig. 20.5 “Sunrise/sunset” processing/reconstruction artifact. The gallbladder is “hot” and “high” (most of it lies above the line defi ning the lower aspect of the heart) ( a , b ). The anterior wall is “hot” and the inferior wall is “cold” on non-AC images ( c – e ), but the opposite is apparent on the AC images ( c – e ), giving rise to an unusual “sunrise/sunset” pattern. The AC algorithm overcor- rects the inferior wall and undercorrects the anterior wall. Although the gallbladder is distant from the heart, its intensity leads to this unusual artifact.

Fig. 20.6 Differential gallbladder visualization, 1-day rest/stress protocol. There is incomplete fi lling of the gallbladder at rest ( a , b ), but it appears complete at stress ( b , d ) in a 1-day protocol. This may represent chronic cholecystitis vs. incomplete fasting before the rest imaging. This patient had undergone right lung transplant. Did you observe the asymmetry in the lungs? Did you recognize these images from Fig.

Fig. 20.7 Differential gallbladder visualization, 2-day rest/stress protocol. For rest imaging on the fi rst day of a 2-day rest/stress protocol, the patient was not fasting; therefore, there is minimal visualization of the gallbladder ( a , b ). For the stress test on the second day, the patient was fasting and there is the expected degree of gallbladder visualization ( c , d ). The hospitalized patient under- went the rest component the afternoon before (“a late add-on”) and the stress early the following day to facilitate management.

Fig. 20.8 Contracted gallbladder. The gallbladder appears contracted ( a , b ) on MPI and on cor- relative CT ( c ). This patient had undergone TIPS; note small liver ( a , c ), splenomegaly ( a , d ) and a “hot” stomach (gastropathy) ( a , d ), characteristic signs of cirrhosis.

Fig. 20.9 Non-visualized gallbladder due to chronic calculous cholecystitis. The gallbladder fails to fi ll ( a , b ). The activity at the lower edge of the fi eld-of-view represents small intestine with peri- staltic movements; when there is large volume ascites, the small intestine loops fl oat centrally. There is a large gallstone in a contracted gallbladder on CT ( c ). Note marked “cold” ascites surrounding the liver ( a – c ), splenomegaly ( a , b ), and a medially displaced, shrunken liver ( a – c ).

Fig. 20.10 “Cold” gallbladder due to chronic calculous cholecystitis. The gallbladder is not sim­ply non-visualized; it actually appears round, distended, and frankly “cold.” It is located in the usual position at the inferior aspect of the right hepatic lobe ( a ). Note the small gallstone in a distended gallbladder by CT ( b ). The “whole-fi eld-of-view” fusion images confi rm the relationship between the “cold” scintigraphic fi nding and the bile-fi lled, stone-containing gallbladder ( c ). Interestingly, comparison with previous MPI ( d , e ) shows a similar pattern in this chronic condition.

Key Points
• The gallbladder should fi ll with radioactive bile and appear “hot”; it is often the “hottest” fi nding in the fi eld-of-view.
• When superiorly displaced, the “hot” gallbladder can create a processing artifact on the reconstructed SPECT MPI.
• The degree of gallbladder visualization can vary between rest and stress imaging on both 1-day and 2-day protocols and is dependent on the fasting state of the patient.
• The gallbladder is usually well-distended in the fasting state; a contracted gallbladder is considered abnormal.
• Non-visualization of the gallbladder, if not surgically absent, or a distended “cold” gallbladder signifi es underlying gallbladder disease; such fi ndings warrant clinical correlation and communication with the referring physician.
• Radioactivity in the small intestine excludes high-grade or complete com­mon bile duct obstruction.
