Ultrasound cystic artery velocity as a predictor for acute cholecystitis in patients presenting to the emergency department
While CaV shows promise as a diagnostic marker, its utility should only be considered alongside other sonographic parameters due to its low independent sensitivity and positive predictive value. The sonographic diagnosis of AC in the ED continues to rely on a multiparametric approach to enhance diagnostic efficacy, ensuring more accurate and timely diagnosis of AC in the ED.
