Measurement of the distal bile duct density on computed tomography can differentiate choledocholithiasis from a control population
Calculation of the distal bile duct density can differentiate choledocholithiasis from a control population. It may be useful alone or as a component of a scoring system to select patients more effectively for intervention. The improved use of CT may also decrease use of MRCP and reduce time to ERCP, which have potential cost benefits.
