Accuracy of MDCT in the Diagnosis of Choledocholithiasis

Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced and unenhanced MDCT, performed for various indications, in detecting choledocholithiasis. Unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MDCT images, interpreted in PACS workstations with axial images, are moderately sensitive and specifi...

Summary:Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced and unenhanced MDCT, performed for various indications, in detecting choledocholithiasis. Unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MDCT images, interpreted in PACS workstations with axial images, are moderately sensitive and specific for showing choledocholithiasis.
