title: Ultrasonography versus roentgenography in suspected cases of cholecystolithiasis.
abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate the relative merits of ultrasonography and roentgenography in 50 cases of suspected cholecystolithiasis. The accuracy rate with roentgenography (plain X-ray abd, OCG and IVC) in the diagnosis of cholecystolithiasis was 92.5% where as it was 95% with ultrasonography. Oral cholecystography should be done in patients with normal ultrasound examination if the symptoms are strongly suggestive of cholecystolithiasis.
