Introduction: In this study we assess the impact of a "rapid imaging protocol" (RIP) on outcomes in patients with suspected acute cholecystitis (AC).
Methods: From January 2017 to January 2018, a prospective cohort study was implemented using a RIP with hepatoscintigraphy (HIDA) or CT scan (first available, goal within 4 h) in patients (n = 52) presenting with highly suspected AC and a clinical feature score of ≥1. For the latter, the following presenting features were scored as follows: 1 point for WBC count ≥10,000 (10/L), 1.
