I Suramo, and P Lanning, and R Lahti

The relative merits of gray-scale ultrasound and roentgen examinations of biliary tract diseases have been compared. Sonography was able to give a definite diagnosis in 74 of 95 roentgenologically unclear cases, and roentgen examination gave a diagnosis in 70 out of 105 cases unclear at sonography.
