Differential diagnosis of cholestasis by non-invasive methods

  • 1. Vienna Univ. (Austria). 2. Medizinische Klinik

Description

The value of the three non-invasive morphological methods-cholangiography, sonography, and cholescintigraphy - in the differential diagnosis of 'surgical' and 'non-surgical' cholestasis was assessed prospectively in 28 patients. The main disadvantage of cholangiography was the large number of patients (11 out of 28) in whom the biliary tract could not be visualized. Correct diagnosis was achieved by sonography in 25 out of 28 and by cholescintigraphy in 23 out of 28 patients. (Author)
