A member asked:
Can you tell me in acute cholecystitis, if the diagnosis is evidently clinically, is an usg abdomen still a must?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An ultrasound would be used to tell if the paiins are from the gallbladder or not. There are many causes of abdominal pain. There are no pure "clinical" findings for acute cholecystitis without appropriate testing (physical exam, blood tests, ultrasound).
