  • Title: Prospective diagnosis of choledocholithiasis.
    Author: Cronan JJ, Mueller PR, Simeone JF, O'Connell RS, vanSonnenberg E, Wittenberg J, Ferrucci JT.
    Journal: Radiology; 1983 Feb; 146(2):467-9. PubMed ID: 6849096.
    Abstract:
    Choledocholithiasis was detected by ultrasound in 11 of 87 patients (13%) overall, including 11 of 56 patients (20%) who had dilated ducts. Choledocholithiasis occurred with a normal caliber common bile duct in 31 of 87 patients (36%), and choledocholithiasis occurred without stones in the gallbladder in seven of 66 patients (11%). Biliary ultrasound plays a limited role in the exclusion of choledocholithiasis.
