    Explanation
    An X-ray examination of the gall bladder following oral administration of a contrast medium is called cholecystography. This procedure involves the use of a contrast dye that is ingested orally and then absorbed by the gall bladder. The dye helps to highlight the gall bladder and any abnormalities or blockages that may be present. This technique allows for the visualization and assessment of the gall bladder, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as gallstones or inflammation. Gastroscopy involves the examination of the stomach and upper digestive tract using a flexible tube with a camera, while ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of the internal organs. Photocopy is unrelated to medical imaging procedures.
