===PET===
*<nowiki/>[[Positron emission tomography|PET]] scan is useful in diagnosing [[Abnormal|abnormal]]<nowiki/> lesions and detecting [[residual]] disease after [[cholecystectomy]].
When doing this test, a small amount of a [[radioactive]] medium is injected into your body and absorbed by the [[organ]]s or [[tissue]]s. This radioactive substance gives off energy to produce the images. [[PET scan]]s can provide more helpful information than [[CT]] and [[MRI]] scans. It is useful to see if the cancer has spread to [[lymph node]]s and also useful for your doctor to locate where the [[cancer]] has spread.
*PET scan has the ability to detect [[occult]]<nowiki/> [[metastasis]] in patients with potentially resectable [[Tumor|tumors]] and changes the management in almost 25% of the patients.
*[[Percutaneous]] transhepatic cholecystoscopy and [[Percutaneous]] transhepatic [[fine needle aspiration]] are helpful in the evaluation of [[gallbladder]] [[Polyp|polyps]].
