TI  - Duplicated gall bladder detected on 99m Tc HIDA hepatobiliary scintigraphy: A 
      report of two cases.

AB  - Gall bladder (GB) duplication is a rare condition often found incidentally; most 
      of these detected on screening Ultrasonography (USG) for abdominal colic. Nuclear 
      hepatobiliary scan, popularly known as hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) 
      scan, with its biliary kinetics, is highly specific for picking up abnormalities 
      related to biliary tract and GB. We report two cases of duplication of GB 
      visualized on HIDA scan. First case highlights the role of HIDA scan in diagnosis 
      of duplicated GB, where USG was equivocal with a number of differentials, whereas 
      in the second case, HIDA helped to rule out obstruction in this case of 
      duplicated GB identified on USG; ruling out biliary cause for the abdominal 
      colic.
