Description: edit 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. Without annotations Annotated raster (.jpg) Annotated vector (.svg)
