Common bile duct stone (CBDS) or choledocholithiasis (ChL) is one of the major pathologies that lead to serious complications, and accurate and early diagnosis is very important. ChL diagnostics is based on clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations. We used transabdominal songraphy (TAUS) for detecting CBDS and comparing it with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography (ERCP).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
