dc.description.abstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the radiological features of symptomatic cholelithiasis with use radiography, ultrasonography (USG), and computed tomography (CT). Material and Method: From January 2014 and September 2019, 543 patients with cholelithiasis were identified. Of these, 174 who also underwent radiography and CT were included in the study. During the 3-year follow-up of the 174 patients, 80 patients had symptomatic cholelithiasis, identified according to USG and/or CT examinations, as well as clinical findings. Findings suggesting cholecystitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and choledocholithiasis were accepted as symptomatic. Radio-opaque stones were identified on radiography and stones were visible on CT. The stones were divided into groups according to their calcification types. The Hounsfield unit (HU) values of the stones were measured and the number and size of the stones were determined by CT and USG. Findings and Results: Symptomatic findings included radio-opaque stones, multiple stones, stones with HU values above 100 HU, and cholelithiasis of the uniform calcification type (p<0.05). However, the relationship between symptomatic cholelithiasis and stone size was not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: The radiological features of symptomatic cholelithiasis are important in terms of follow-up, treatment plan and prevention of complications.
