title: [Cholelithiasis--diagnostic imaging today].
abstract: The recent change in the therapeutic approach to gallstone disease (dissolution therapy, lithotripsy and especially laparoscopic cholecystectomy) has promoted an obvious transition in biliary imaging. In a short review the actually most relevant imaging modalities are presented and validated. In the light of the explosive growth of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a main concern of this presentation is focused on biliary duct imaging.
