Ultrasonographic diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.
The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in differentiating between medical and surgical jaundice (99%), and in revealing the site (80%) and nature of the obstruction (79.8%) was assessed in a study on 128 jaundiced patients. The validity of this diagnostic procedure is underlined and its use is recommended in patients with obstructive jaundice.
