X Ray
Abdominal X-Ray does not aid diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. It is performed as an initial evaluation to diagnose the complicated gallbladder disease.[1][2]
- X-Ray abdomen is of limited value in acute cholecystitis as only 15–20% of gallstones are visible on an X-Ray.
- Early ultrasound or CT scan usually reduces the use of X-Ray and are more sensitive.
