Diagnostic ultrasonography plays a major role in the evaluation of jaundiced infants. Seventeen such infants were studied in both fasting and post-prandial states. The gallbladder and biliary tract were evaluated to define features most useful in distinguishing children with biliary atresia from those with other causes of jaundice. Demonstration of a decrease in gallbladder size following feeding virtually eliminates the diagnosis of biliary atresia, even in children with abnormal HIDA scans.
诊断性超声检查在评估黄疸婴儿方面发挥着重要作用。对17名此类婴儿在空腹和餐后状态下进行了研究。对胆囊和胆道进行评估,以确定最有助于区分胆道闭锁患儿与其他黄疸病因患儿的特征。喂食后胆囊大小减小的表现实际上排除了胆道闭锁的诊断,即使是在肝胆动态显像扫描异常的儿童中也是如此。
