ULTRASONOGRAPHY AS AN IMAGING TECHNIQUE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF GALL BLADDER DISORDERS: A CLINICAL STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Pain in abdominal may be due to abnormalities in gall bladder, kidneys, pancreas, stomach, duodenum, spleen etc. Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis are common disorder and is usually asymptomatic. Ultrasound is non-invasive and is not painful technique. The present study was conducted to evaluate occurrence of different gall bladder pathologies and the efficacy of ultrasound in detecting gall bladder disorders especially gall stones. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Radio-diagnosis in year 2015. It included 120 patients visited the department for abdominal ultrasonography. The procedure was done using different types of ultrasound units with 3.5 MHz and 5 MHz curve linear probes. Results: Out of 120 patients, 70 were males and 50 were females. The difference was non significant (P > 0.05). Age group 11-20 years consisted of males (4) and females (8). Age group 21-30 years consisted of males (11) and females (9). Age group 31-40 years consisted of males (17) and females (10). Age group 41-50 years consisted of males (13) and females (8). Age group 51-60 years consisted of males (15) and females (7). Patients > 60 years consisted of males (10) and females (8). The difference was non significant (P > 0.05). Out of 120 patients, 35 were diagnosed with cholelithiasis. The prevalence was 29.1%. Out of 35 patients diagnosed with cholelithiasis, males were 20 and females were 15. Other abnormalities were wall thickening (27), slightly contraction (12), enlarge gall bladder with mass (10), acute acalculous cholecystits (14), hepatic cyst (4) and pericholecystic edema (18). Conclusion: Ultrasonograph is preferred imaging modality for the diagnosis of diseases of gall bladder especially cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. It is non invasive, inexpensive and safest technique.
