What is Digital X-Ray of O.C.G. (Oral Cholecystography)?

Oral Cholecystography (O.C.G.) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to assess the gallbladder's function and detect conditions like gallstones, inflammation, or blockages.

The test involves the patient ingesting a contrast material (usually an iodine-based dye) a few hours before the X-ray. The dye is absorbed by the digestive system and concentrates in the gallbladder, making it visible on X-ray images.

Once the dye reaches the gallbladder, a series of X-ray images are taken. O.C.G. is non-invasive, though the patient may experience mild discomfort from the contrast.

Results are interpreted by a radiologist to diagnose gallbladder-related issues.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
