[Computerized tomography in the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical jaundice].

The article describes the authors' experience with the application of computer tomography (CT) for diagnosis and treatment of 82 patients with mechanical jaundice. Invasive (diagnostic and curative) manipulations under the control of CT were fulfilled in 35 of them. A conclusion is made that CT gives an exact and objective information concerning the state of bile ducts under conditions of mechanical jaundice, confirms its mechanical character, makes differential diagnostics of its causes, allows to estimate the possibility of radical surgery.
