HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE RADIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE GALL BLADDER?

Dr.tilak Chandra Pal

Abstract


Gall bladder disease is rather encountered on a daily basis in the OPD’s now a day. Many of these get admitted. Most of the cases admitted in the hospitals require radiological intervention. Routine examination of the gall bladder using USG is difficult and challenging. After cholecystectomy has been done it shows different histopathological changes ranging from inflammation to premalignant and carcinoma. Although gall bladder disease is most often found in women, men may have this condition as well. But how far the histopathological reports which are considered to be the gold standard corresponds to the radiological reports is the most sought out question. This study puts in an effort to find the answer for the same.
