Template:Ultrasonography of sludge and acoustic shadowing - description

Abdominal ultrasonography of an 83 year old man who experienced biliary colic two weeks prior.
It shows a gallbladder wall that is almost pathologically thickened, at 3 mm. However, there is no apparent edema in the pericholecystic fat. The gallbladder contains biliary sludge, as well as gallstones, which create acoustic shadowing. There is thus gallstones without current cholecystitis.
