Poor ‘Real-Life’ Negative Predictive Value of Cross-Sectional Imaging in Obstructive Jaundice

Poor ‘Real-Life’ Negative Predictive Value of Cross-Sectional Imaging in Obstructive Jaundice

BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional imaging remains the first-line test for obstructive jaundice despite high miss rates for pancreatobiliary tumours. Improvements in resolution and slice thickness of spiral computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography promised...
