Echogenic foci in the gallbladder are usually small polyps. They can be seen on an ultrasound and are often benign.
Ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound has an accuracy rate of 96%. Cholecystography (cholecystogram, gallbladder series, gallbladder x ray). This type of study shows how the gallbladder contracts after the patient has eaten a high-fat meal
There is a Phrygian cap, a folded over part of a gall bladder. It is a harmless variant that is seen in a small percent of people who have ultrasound exams of their gall bladders.
Ultrasound, CT scan, And the main one that measures the intake and output is the HIDA scan.
Choledocholithiasis is when gallstones have escaped from the gallbladder and have become lodged in the much smaller bile ducts that drain the liver and gallbladder. Picked up with MRI scan or ultrasound
"Grossly unremarkable gallbladder" means that upon visual inspection during a medical procedure such as an ultrasound or surgery, the gallbladder appears normal with no obvious signs of disease or abnormalities.
can a 5 week fetus show on an ultrasound
It is necessary. She would not have recommended it if it wasn't necessary. You can ask for a second opinion. Save
I'm sure the cost can vary from hospital to hospital, however it normally is in the $600 range. For example, for a gallbladder ultrasound in Dec. 2008, a patient in Columbus, OH was charged $627.75 by the hospital (adjusted to $493.43 under the patient's health care plan) and $119.00 by the physician (adjusted to $57.56).
Yea
You cant know without taking a test to check for HCG. If you have an ultrasound scan the baby can be seen, later the fetal heart can be heard by Doppler, and later still the baby can be seen moving.
It has become the "gold standard" for diagnosis of stones in the gallbladder, but is less accurate in diagnosing stones in the bile ducts
