Overview
Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. Findings on MRI suggestive of chronic cholecystitis include thickening of the gallbladder and gallstones.
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Findings on MRI suggestive of acute cholecystitis include:[1][2]
- Thickening of the gallbladder
- Gallbladder distention
- Gallstones
Advantages of MRI
- Advantages of MRI include:[1][3]
- No exposure to radiation
- Information about other abdominal structures in addition to hepato-biliary tree
Limitations of MRI
