Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. K and I am pleased to assist you.EGD screens the inside of the food pipe, the stomach and the first two parts of duodenum (duodenum is the first part of small intestine).EGD cannot screen the gallbladder. To know about the gallbladder an ultrasound scan may be done. Other scans like a CT scan or MRI scan also can do to see the gall bladder. But ultrasound scan is the simplest and cheapest one. The functioning of gall bladder can be assessed with a HIDE scan. I hope that answers your query. Regards.
