Overview
Sonography is the most effective initial modality for the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. The 2 major diagnostic criteria are cholelithiasis and sonographic Murphy's sign. Other findings may include gallbladder wall thickening, and gallbladder dilatation or contraction.
Ultrasound
Abdominal Ultrasound is the most effective initial modality for the diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis.[1]
- The 2 major diagnostic criteria are:
- cholelithiasis
- Sonographic Murphy's sign.
- Other findings may include:
- Gallbladder wall thickening
- Gallbladder dilatation or contraction.
