OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES
•• Review the imaging findings of cancer of Review the imaging findings of cancer of the gallbladder and the gallbladder and cholangiocarcinomacholangiocarcinoma
•• Applications of MDCT, MR, MRCP, PET/CT Applications of MDCT, MR, MRCP, PET/CT in the staging of these in the staging of these neoplasmsneoplasms
•• Suggest practice guidelines to promote Suggest practice guidelines to promote early detection in high risk individualsearly detection in high risk individuals
