What is Gallbladder Ultrasound?
An ultrasound of the gallbladder is a noninvasive, often painless test used to identify gallbladder-related disorders. Ultrasound does not use radiation, in contrast to X-ray.
An ultrasound enables medical professionals to see pictures of the internal organs and soft tissues of your body. An ultrasound uses sound waves to create a real-time image of your internal organs.
This makes it easier for medical professionals to identify diseases and discover the root causes of any issues you might be having.

What is the purpose of a gallbladder ultrasound?
On the right side of the belly, beneath the liver, is where the gallbladder is situated. The liver produces the pancreatic enzyme bile, which is then stored in this pear-shaped organ and used to break down fat.
A variety of disorders can be diagnosed with gallbladder ultrasounds. The operation may be recommended by your doctor to check for gallstones, which are hardening bile deposits that can cause nausea, abdominal pain, back pain, and shoulder pain.
Cholecystitis, a disorder where the gallbladder becomes inflamed or infected, is another circumstance that could require a gallbladder ultrasound. Gallstones that block a tube that transports bile from the gallbladder frequently cause this.
A gallbladder ultrasound may also be used to diagnose the following conditions:
- gallbladder polyps
- porcelain gallbladder
- gallbladder perforation
- gallbladder cancer
- upper right abdominal pain for an unknown reason
- gallbladder empyema

How is the Ultrasound test performed?
- Most likely, the test technician will ask you to lie on your back. Your abdomen will be covered in a gel that keeps air from accumulating between both the scanner and the skin.
- The size and appearance of organs are among the information that the transducer transmits and receives via sound waves.
- When the images are ready to be interpreted, the technician will continue to move the transducer back and forth across your abdomen. It normally takes less than 30 minutes and is painless.
- Obesity and too much gas in your intestines are two factors that can affect the outcomes of your ultrasound. A CT scan or an MRI may be advised by your doctor if the results of the gallbladder ultrasound are ambiguous.
What are the tests and diagnoses for Gallbladder stones?
The following tests and methods are used to identify gallstones and their side effects:
   Abdominal ultrasound
- The most typical test to look for gallstone symptoms is this one. A transducer is moved back and forth across your stomach area during abdominal ultrasonography. The computer uses the signals sent by the transducer to produce images of the organs in your abdomen.
   Endoscopic ultrasound
- Smaller stones that may go undetected on an abdominal ultrasound can be found using this method. A tiny, flexible tube called an endoscope is sent through your mouth and digestive tract by your doctor during a EUS. A tiny ultrasound transducer inside the tube emits sound waves that accurately represent the tissue in the area.
   Other imaging tests
- Oral cholecystography, a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan, computer tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are examples of additional procedures that may be performed (ERCP). When gallstones are found via ERCP, they can be removed.
   Blood tests
- Infection, jaundice, gastroenteritis, and other gallstone-related problems may be discovered through blood tests.
