  • Title: [Differential diagnosis of cholestasis by non-invasive methods--comparison of cholecysto-cholangiography, ultrasonics and hepatobiliary sequential scintigraphy].
    Author: Knoflach P, Kolbe H, Kumpan W, Gangl A.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1983 Apr 29; 95(9):304-9. PubMed ID: 6613145.
    Abstract:
    The value of the three non-invasive morphological methods--cholangiography, sonography, and cholescintigraphy--in the differential diagnosis of "surgical" and "non-surgical" cholestasis was assessed prospectively in 28 patients. The main disadvantage of cholangiography was the large number of patients (11 out of 28) in whom the biliary tract could not be visualized. Correct diagnosis was achieved by sonography in 25 out of 28 and by cholescintigraphy in 23 out of 28 patients.
