AI-generated summary
A retrospective analysis of 45 cases found that 28% of patients with adenomyomatosis had normal gallbladders before a fatty meal, supporting the routine use of fatty meals in oral cholecystography to detect acalculous disease.

Abstract
The practice of routinely obtaining after fatty meal films during oral cholecystography has been questioned. A retrospective analysis of 45 cases of adenomyomatosis or polyps revealed that, in 28% of patients with adenomyomatosis, the gall-bladder appeared entirely normal before fat. It is concluded that, for the detection of acalculous gall-bladder disease, the fatty meal should be a routine part of oral cholecystography.
