title: [Computed tomography in cholestasis].
abstract: 116 patients with jaundice were examined by computer tomography. In 92.3% of the patients examined the computer tomography gave correct information for the etiology of the jaundice: in 36 patients (31%) obstructive jaundice was established; in 71 patients (61.3%) the jaundice was nonobstructive and in 9 patients (7.7%) the etiology was not established. The characteristics of the CT findings in obstructive and nonobstructive jaundice are discussed. The causes of the diagnostic mistakes in CT examinations of patients with jaundice are also discussed.
