Yes, a CT scan can help identify problems with the gallbladder, such as gallstones, inflammation (cholecystitis), or tumors. It provides detailed images of the abdominal organs, allowing healthcare providers to assess the gallbladder's condition. However, other imaging techniques like ultrasound may also be used, particularly for evaluating gallstones, as they can be more effective in certain cases.
