The gallbladder ejection fraction is low - so certainly biliary dyskinesia is possible. As mentioned in the comments below, since the pain didn't appreciably worsen with the injection of CCK, there is no guarantee that removing the gallbladder will improve the symptoms.

I then had a HIDA scan with CCK injection which showed an ejection fraction of 37%. My internist and my gastroenterologist both agree that my ejection fraction is not low enough at this point to talk about removing my gallbladder, though that may be a possibility in the future.

Hi Since my pregnancy about 2 years ago I have developed gastric problems I've never had before. ... I'm a nuclear med tech and have done hundreds of HIDA scans with CCK for ejection fraction. I also had to have my gallbladder removed when 20 weeks pregnant, so this is familiar territory to me. An EF of 5% is very, very low.

The clinical utility of cholecystokinin-cholescintigraphy with calculation of a gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) in patients with suspected chronic acalculous gallbladder dysfunction (CAGD) remains controversial. ... The low methodologic quality of the studies precluded a meta-analysis approach to the data.

She speculated that a possible explanation is that patients might have an increased density of cholecystokinin receptors that, in response to a fatty meal, cause the gallbladder to clamp down intensely and result in pain, despite the absence of a low ejection fraction.

Answer: If you are experiencing pain from your gallbladder and poor emptying (a low ejection fraction) you would be best advised to get your gallbladder removed. There are oral drugs which will dissolve stones (a possible cause of your problem), but they'll just come back over time if the gall bladder is left intact.
