- Abstract
The article details normal ultrasound appearances of the gall bladder and appearances of cholecystitis, sludge and adenomyomatosis. Topics discussed include ultrasound as chosen modality for initial investigation of suspected gall bladder and biliary tree pathology, gall stones as the commonest gall bladder pathology encountered in clinical practice and the need to evaluate the whole upper abdomen supplemented by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for the more aggressive pathologies.
