Abstract

PurposeThe purpose was to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) in assessing the resectability of gallbladder carcinoma (GBCA) with meta-analysis.Materials and methodsA meta-analysis of the reported sensitivity and specificity of each study with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was performed.ResultsPooled sensitivity was 99% (95% CI), and pooled specificity was 76% (95% CI).ConclusionCT can be used as an appropriate choice for the diagnosis and assessment of resectability of GBCA.
