tative method for assessing gallbladder contraction and calcu-lation of a gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF). At present, it is used most commonly to identify patients with suspected func-tional gallbladder disorder. However, the methodology of CCK infusion and normal values differ markedly among imaging centers.

Jan 7, 2002 · Utilizing computer-generated regions of interest (ROIs), gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) can be calculated by various methods. Normal values for GBEF have usually been cited as being greater than 35% ( 4 - 6 ) or 40% ( 7 ), with lower values indicative of biliary dyskinesia in the correct clinical setting.
