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, pericholecystic fluid, and gallbladder dilatation or contraction.

- Other findings may include:
- Gallbladder wall thickening
