Role of Ultrasonography and Computed Tomography in Gallbladder Masses and their Correlation with Fine-needle Aspiration Cytology
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) have revolutionized the diagnosis, and management of carcinoma ultrasound is the main initial diagnostic tool for suspected biliary lesions. It may be helpful for detecting gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) although the infiltrative morphology of some tumors and the presence of gallstones, inflammation, and debris may preclude tumor detection. CT has been reported as a comprehensive tool for imaging and staging of GBCA. Aims and Objectives: Role of USG and CT in evaluation of gallbladder (GB) masses Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis in coordination with the surgery, medicine, and pathology at NSCB Medical College and Hospital, Jabalpur. A total of 50 patients with suspected GB masses were included in our study. Result: Maximum number of patients were in the age group between 41 and 50 year, about 32%, and age group between 51 and 60 years, about 28%. GB masses 33 (66%) were detected in females and 17 (34%) were detected in males. Mass detection as per diffuse wall and mass detection as per heterogeneous echotexture was seen in 35 patients, about 70% in USG, and 36 patients, about 72% in CT. Thickening of GB was seen in 7 patients, about 14% in USG and CT. Conclusion: In our study, overall detection of GB carcinoma USG could detect 94% of cases and CT could detect 96% of cases same as fine-needle aspiration cytology detection of GB carcinoma showing that CT is more sensitive than USG to detect the GB carcinoma.
