Expanded criteria for the ultrasonic diagnosis of gallstones

H C Crow et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 1976 Aug.

Abstract

The ultrasonic examination of the gallbladder for stones can be an accurate procedure if an expanded set of criteria are used. Employing such criteria we have been able to reach a diagnosis in 92 percent of examinations with no false positive and no false negative results. The expanded criteria are described and several illustrative examples are shown.
