yes!! any opiate-based pain meds contract a sphincter (the sphincter of Oddi) that allows bile into the small intestine to aid with digestion. Most imaging centers/hospital require that no pain meds are to be given 4-6 hours prior to a HIDA scan. However, morphine is used as an interventional drug DURING an abnormal HIDA scan. After 60 minutes of imaging, if the gallbladder is not visualized, morphine can be used to contract the same sphincter mentioned above to cause a back pressure of bile flow and "trick" the gallbladder into filling with the radiolabled bile.

Okay, I don't like t?
Okay, I don't like to disagree with other doctor often, but in this case I must. If your HIDA scan was 9% and you have the abdominal pain you have described the gall bladder is the most likely culprit, and honestly, I have never heard of a HIDA that low and the patient did not have the gall bladder removed when they have symptoms such as yours. Because of this, I have to ask you to get a second opinion from another surgeon, because in most situation, a HIDA scan of 9% will be operated on when there are symptoms present
