Overview

The most cost-effective technique to diagnose cholangitis is an ultrasound.

Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy

• An ultrasound scan is the most cost effective imaging for cholangitis.
• Though computerized tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can accurately identify masses and detect metastases, they are often more expensive than an ultrasound scan.
