Overview
MRI
- MRI with MR cholangiopancreatography in the emergency setting provides rapid, noninvasive, and confident diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and associated gallbladder disease (gallstones).[2]
- Findings on an MRI include
- Gallbladder distension
- Intraluminal sludge
- Gallstones
- Impacted stones obstructing the neck of the gallbladder
- Cystic duct obstruction
- Thickening of the gallbladder wall
- Abnormal signal intensity due to edematous stratification
- Pericholecystic and perihepatic fluid
- Increased enhancement of the gallbladder wall and adjacent liver parenchyma with the use of intravenous paramagnetic contrast.
- Complications, such as the conditions below, can be identified at an early stage.
- Gangrene
- Perforation
- Pericholecystic abscess
- Intrahepatic fistulization
MR Images Demonstrate Findings that are Consistent with Acute Cholecystitis (Pericholicystic fluid and GB Wall Thickening)
