[Echographic or radiographic cholecystography? (author's transl)]. 1978

H Kremer, and W Schierl, and H Ingrisch, and K W Frey, and N Zöllner

In a prospective echographic and radiographic investigation of 281 patients and in a retrospective evaluation of 86 operated patients, echography and radiography gave approximately equally accurate diagnoses. By using both methods no pathological finding will be overlooked. For reasons of radiation protection, echographic examinations should be carried out first. If the echographic results agree with the clinical findings the radiological cholecystography can be dispensed with. Radiological investigation should be carried out if the echographic findings are at variance with the clinical findings. Consequently echographic cholecystography certainly cannot replace radiography, but it does contribute in that radiographic examination can be used selectively.
