Overview
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is helpful in the first in establishing a diagnosis of Choledocholithiasis. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of Choledocholithiasis include
- dilated bile duct
- visualization of stone(s)
- gallstones should increase suspicion, especially if multiple and small
- Recently endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has also been used with very high sensitivity and specificity. [1]
