Abstract
- Patient's age no longer is a major factor when discussing the diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal diseases. However, discussing with the physician in charge of the patient is the only adequate way to propose the quickest, least invasive and most comfortable imaging modality that will give a proper answer to the clinical problem. Cross sectional imaging, especially ultrasound, CT and in some cases MRI, plays an important role in the diagnosis of these diseases.
