Introduction:
The diagnostic accuracy for the diseases of the gall bladder is high for the Ultrasound. Hence, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the application of the ultrasound as a major diagnostic aid for the gallbladder diseases.
Materials And Methods:
We piloted observational study among 100 patients with gallbladder diseases. The clinical, ultrasonograhic, and the histopathological parameters were compared to check the validity of the tests using t-test deliberating P < 0.05 as significant.
Results:
We observed that number of the cases that were positively identified radiographically were 93 out of 82 actual cases and 67 identified by the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). There was no significant difference between the clinical, pathological diagnosis and the ultrasonograhic diagnosis indicating a accuracy similar to the clinical and FNAC methods.
Conclusion:
Ultrasonograhic diagnosis performed similar to the other forms of diagnosis and can be suggested as a convenient and accurate diagnostic test for the diseases of gallbladder.
