Diagnostic accuracy of MDCT in differentiating gallbladder cancer from acute and xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis
Clinical Imaging Apr 20, 2018
Wasnik AP, et al. - The diagnostic accuracy of multi-detector CT (MDCT) was comprehensively examined by researchers for differentiating gallbladder cancer from acute and xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis using previously described imaging features. The significant predictors useful in making or excluding the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer were discovered to be focal gallbladder wall thickening, pericholecystic “fat stranding” and maximum short axis lymph node diameter. Findings reported that MDCT presented with moderate sensitivity, poor specificity, and moderate-to-substantial inter-rater repeatability for the differentiation of gallbladder cancer from acute and xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis.
