MRI
- MRI with MR cholangiopancreatography in the emergency setting provides rapid, noninvasive, and confident diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and associated gall bladder disease (gall stones)[1].
- Finding on MRI include
- Gall bladder distension
- Intraluminal sludge
- Gallstones
- Impacted stones obstructing the neck of the gall bladder neck
- Cystic duct obstruction
- Thickening of the gall bladder wall
- Abnormal signal intensity due to edematous stratification
- Pericholecystic and perihepatic fluid
- Increased enhancement of the gall bladder wall and adjacent liver parenchyma with intravenous paramagnetic contrast is used
- Complications can be identified at early stage like
- Gangrene
- Perforation
- Pericholecystic abscess
- Intrahepatic fistulization
Images
MR images demonstrates findings that are consistent with acute cholecystitis (pericholicystic fluid, GB wall thickening)
