    Author: Cintora I, Ben-Ora A, MacNeil R, Gilsdorf RB.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1979 Dec; 138(6):818-20. PubMed ID: 507298.
    Abstract:
    Forty-four patients admitted with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis underwent immediate cholecystosonography, and if the findings were interpreted as showing gallstones, surgery was performed. The accuracy was 91 per cent. The routine use of cholecystosonography in acutely ill patients is recommended.
