Researchers at University of New Mexico Report New Data on Acute Cholecystitis (The Gallbladder: What's New In 2022?).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of New Mexico focuses on the imaging diagnosis, treatment, and complications of acute cholecystitis, which is the most common benign disease of the gallbladder. The study reviews the appropriateness criteria for imaging evaluation and presents the recent articles on the use of ultrasound, CT, MR, and HIDA in diagnosing acute cholecystitis. The research also discusses the management of gallbladder polyps and adenomyomatosis, which can mimic gallbladder malignancies and acute cholecystitis. The study suggests using CT as the preferred imaging method for diagnosing acute cholecystitis. The research has been peer-reviewed and can be found in the journal Abdominal Radiology.
