Correlation Between Morphological Patterns and Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Enhancement Patterns in Gallbladder Carcinoma With Locoregional Infiltration

Gallbladder cancer frequently leads to the replacement or damage of the gallbladder, with both focal and diffuse wall thickening being common findings. Hypo-isoenhancement was the most prevalent imaging pattern, while hyperenhancement was less common. Although intraluminal polypoidal growth did not significantly correlate with metastasis, wall thickening was significantly associated. These results emphasize the importance of specific imaging patterns in assessing the severity of gallbladder cancer and informing treatment strategies.

Abstract

Gallbladder cancer frequently leads to the replacement or damage of the gallbladder, with both focal and diffuse wall thickening being common findings. Hypo-isoenhancement was the most prevalent imaging pattern, while hyperenhancement was less common. Although intraluminal polypoidal growth did not significantly correlate with metastasis, wall thickening was significantly associated. These results emphasize the importance of specific imaging patterns in assessing the severity of gallbladder cancer and informing treatment strategies.
