Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of acute cholecystitis include thickened gallbladder, gallstones or sludge, and pericholecystic fluid.
Ultrasound
- Transabdominal ultrasonography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of gallstones.[1][2][3][4]
- Findings on an transabdominal ultrasonography diagnostic of acute cholecystitis include:
- Thickened gallbladder (>4 mm)
- Gallstones or sludge
- Pericholecystic fluid
- Findings on an transabdominal ultrasonography diagnostic of acute cholecystitis include:
