The spectrum of gallbladder disease includes cholecystitis (acute, chronic, calcular, noncalcular, gangrenous, and xanthogranulomatous), cholesterosis, adenomyomatosis, adenoma, neuroendocrine tumor, ganglioneuromatosis in multiple endocrine neoplasia MEN IIb, and carcinoma. The educational exhibit provides a full radiologic-pathologic correlation of these disease entities. Multi-modality imaging of the gall bladder includes ultrasonography, color Doppler, CT, MRI, HIDA scintigraphy, and PET/CT. The relative merits of each modality in a particular disease entity are illustrated. Examples are HIDA scintigraphy in acute cholecystitis, MRI in noncalcular cholecystitis, and Color Doppler and MRI in differentiating adherent sludge from gall bladder carcinoma.  

The educational exhibit covers (in the Quiz format) the radiological features of a wide spectrum of gall bladder disease with full radiologic-pathologic correlation in all cases including: Cholecystitis: acute, chronic, calcular, noncalcular, gangrenous, and xanthogranulomatous. Cholesterosis Adenomyomatosis Gallbladder adenoma Neuroendocrine tumor Ganglioneuromatosis of the gall bladder in multiple endocrine neoplasia MEN IIb. Gallbladder carcinoma.
