Detection of acute cholecystitis in children
1Diagnostic Imaging Department, Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Abstract:
Hepatobiliary imaging has an established diagnostic role in adults with acute cholecystitis but is underutilized in children. The authors report two children with acute cholecystitis, whose condition was diagnosed with the aid of a 99m-technetium-labeled iminodiacetic acid (IDA) derivative. The diagnosis was confirmed surgically.
