Yes, gallstones can be effectively visualized on an abdominal ultrasound. The ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the abdominal organs, and gallstones typically appear as echogenic (bright) areas with shadowing behind them due to their density. This imaging technique is commonly used because it is non-invasive and does not involve radiation. It is a primary method for diagnosing gallstones.
