Risk and Cost-effectiveness of Surveillance Followed by Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Polyps.

OBJECTIVE To ascertain the best management options for patients presenting with gallbladder polyps. DESIGN Retrospective case-note analysis. SETTING Tertiary referral teaching hospital practice.

Caveat reporting in ultrasound interpretation of surgical pathology: a comparison of sonographer versus radiologist.

Background: Radiology reports provide specialist interpretation of images and relate these findings to the patient's symptoms and signs. This study compared ultrasound (USS) reports generated by radiologists and sonographers to determine if any significant or clinically relevant differences existed.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 624 consecutive USS reports was carried out.
