TI  - Contrast tomography of the gallbladder wall and ultrasonography in the diagnosis 
      of acute cholecystitis.
PG  - 850-3
AB  - Rapid and reliable diagnostic methods are necessary for regular early surgical 
      intervention in patients with acute cholecystitis. Eighty-three patients with 
      clinical suspicion of acute cholecystitis were investigated with ultrasonography 
      (US) and contrast tomography of the gallbladder wall (CTGW). The diagnosis in 
      each case included in the study was verified either at operation or follow-up 
      cholecystography. The sensitivity and specificity of US were 69 and 100 per cent, 
      respectively. With CTGW the corresponding figures were 73 and 100 per cent. The 
      combined use of these methods resulted in a sensitivity of 89 per cent and a 
      specificity of 100 per cent.
