Abstract
Oral cholecystography was performed on ultrasonically proven cases of cholelithiasis. The conventional screen/film system and computed radiography (CR) using the imaging plate were used under practically identical conditions. The diagnostic accuracy of the two techniques was assessed objectively, and the image quality was assessed subjectively. The CR image proved to be better than the conventional screen/film image, even with the low-dose exposure. This paper describes our experience in the area of the biliary tract system with CR — a digital radiographic system using photostimulable phosphor.
