Layering hyperintensity in T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging predicts gallbladder sludge: a retrospective cohort and diagnostic accuracy study in patients with significant liver disease
T1w layering on MRI strongly predicts gallbladder sludge detected on US and is associated with increased BMI in this cohort of patients with liver disease. However, the moderate specificity requires cautious interpretation, and our findings suggest that T1w layering may serve as a complementary diagnostic tool.
