Abstract:
Hepatobiliary system disorders are fairly common throughout
the world.
This is a comparative study of selected 20 patients and on each
U/S and ERCP were carried out.
The aim of the study is to evaluated the advantages and
disadvantages of U/S & ERCP.
The study is conducted at IBN SINA Teaching Hospital, and the
data was obtained by practical investigations and questionaire
(consultant radiologists).
Practically 90% U/S accuracy was achieved and 89% was the
result of the questionaire, regarding to 55% ERCP accuracy and
49% result of the questionaire. The overrate gain of U/S over
ERCP is found to be (2:1) respectively.
However, U/S, regarding these results, is proved to be superior
to ERCP and hence it is considered as a technique of choice.
Expert sonologists and advanced recent U/S machines are
recommended in order to achieve nearly 100% accuracy and
ERCP is left for interventional purposes.
