Newest firstBackground Dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) after cholecystectomy is frequently observed during follow-up imaging; however, its extent and clinical implications remain incompletely defined. Distinguishing physiological postoperative ductal enlargement from pathological dilatation is essential to avoid unnecessary diagnostic evaluation. This study aimed to compare CBD diameter in post-cholecystectomy patien…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose This study aims to detect common bile duct (CBD) dilatation using deep learning methods from artificial intelligence algorithms. Methods To create a convolutional neural network (CNN) model, 77 magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) images without CBD dilatation and 70 MRCP images with CBD dilatation were used. The system was developed using coronal maximum intensity projection reformatted 3D-M…
Background Obstructive jaundice is a common clinical condition requiring accurate imaging for prompt diagnosis and management. Ultrasonography (USG) is often the first-line modality, whereas magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) offers non-invasive high-resolution visualization of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of USG and MRCP in obstructive jaund…
Purpose To assess (I) whether, in autopsy-proven lethal intoxications with opiates/opioids, a dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) is still visible in postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and (II) if a dilatation of the CBD might also be measurable for other substance groups (e.g., stimulants, hypnotics, antipsychotics, etc.). Methods We retrospectively measured the CBD using PMCT in cases with lethal intoxic…
