Cholescintigraphy or hepatobiliary scintigraphy is scintigraphy of the hepatobiliary tract, including the gallbladder and bile ducts.The image produced by this type of medical imaging, called a cholescintigram, is also known by other names depending on which radiotracer is used, such as HIDA scan, PIPIDA scan, DISIDA scan, or BrIDA scan.
The CCK test may be administered in conjunction with an ultrasound test to visually monitor gall bladder contraction. While the test is usually administered in a supine position Dr. William Smedley of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania has detected previously missed gallbladder abnormalities by administering the test in an erect position.

The image produced by this type of medical imaging, called a cholescintigram, is also known by other names depending on which radiotracer is used, such as HIDA scan, PIPIDA scan, DISIDA scan, or BrIDA scan. Cholescintigraphic scanning is a nuclear medicine procedure to evaluate the health and function of the gallbladder and biliary system.
The cholecystokinin B receptor also known as CCKBR or CCK 2 is a protein [5] that in humans is encoded by the CCKBR gene. [ 6 ] This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor for gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK), [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] regulatory peptides of the brain and gastrointestinal tract.
The CCK tetrapeptide fragment CCK-4 (Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH 2) reliably causes anxiety and panic attacks (panicogenic effect) when administered to humans and is commonly used in scientific research for this purpose of in order to test new anxiolytic drugs.
