What Does White Spots On Each Side Of Abdomen In HIDA Scan Indicate?

I had a HIDA Scan yesterday and when it was all done I glanced at the screen that had been above my head. It looked like an outline of my abdomen but with 2 fairly big white spots on each side of my abdomen. I am wondering if that means something is wrong with my gallbladder?

The HIDA scan is done primarily to view the liver and gall bladder. The white spots on either side of the abdomen may represent the two kidneys, which excretes any excess radioactive dye. However, an accurate interpretation is possible only after looking at the images.
Hope the answer helped.
