What are the most common diagnostic challenges when using ultrasound to identify acute cholecystitis?

Ultrasound is highly specific but moderately sensitive for diagnosing acute cholecystitis, making it a reliable confirmatory tool but less effective for ruling out the condition. Operator variability, clinical overlap with other conditions, and comparisons with other modalities are notable diagnostic challenges.

Abstract

Ultrasound is highly specific but moderately sensitive for diagnosing acute cholecystitis, making it a reliable confirmatory tool but less effective for ruling out the condition. Operator variability, clinical overlap with other conditions, and comparisons with other modalities are notable diagnostic challenges.
