Overview
The reported sensitivity and specificity of CT scan findings are in the range of 90-95%. CT is more sensitive than ultrasonography in the depiction of pericholecystic inflammatory response and in localizing pericholecystic abscesses, pericholecystic gas, and calculi outside the lumen of the gallbladder.
CT
- CT scan is more specific than ultrasound.
- CT scan findings include[1]
- Gallbladder wall thickening
- Gallbladder distension
- Pericholecystic fat density
- Pericholecystic fluid collection
- Subserosal edema
- High attenuation gallbladder bile
- CT cannot see noncalcified gallbladder calculi, and cannot assess for Murphy's sign. [2] [3]
CT Demonstrates Findings that are Consistent with Acute Cholecystitis (Gallstone in GB Neck, Pericholicystic Fluid and GB Wall Thickening)
Imaging Criteria for Acalculous Cholecystitis
The CT based diagnostic criteria from multiple studies for acalculous cholecystits is as follows.[4]
| Criteria | Diagnosis |
|---|---|
| Major | 3 to 4 mm wall thickness Pericholecystic fluid Subserosal edema Intramural gas Sloughed mucosa |
| Minor | Hyperdense bile (sludge) Subjective distension (hydrops) |
Diagnosis: 2 major or 1 major and 2 minor
