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

Digital X-Ray of O.C.G. (Oral Cholecystography) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Digital X-Ray of O.C.G. (Oral Cholecystography) result rather than self-diagnosing.
