Feedback:
A cholecystogram (gallbladder series) may be ordered to show the outline of the gallbladder and any existing gallstones. Before a cholecystogram, the client must prepare by eating a fat-free supper the night before the x-ray study, taking a radiopaque dye by mouth, eating nothing for the next 12 hours (after taking the radiopaque dye), stopping smoking and chewing gum, which cause premature emptying of the dye from the gallbladder, and administering an enema in the morning, if ordered.
