📚 Case Study: Acute Cholecystitis
Take a look at this ultrasound case study!
What we see:
This is an example showing gallstone shadowing, a thickened gallbladder wall, and pericholecystic fluid. When the operator compressed the gallbladder, the patient reported pain. This illustrates a positive sonographic Murphy’s sign. These are the ultrasound characteristics of acute cholecystitis. A sonographic Murphy’s sign is defined by a patient experiencing pain and inspiratory effort arrest following pressure on an ultrasound probe positioned over the gallbladder.
👩⚕️ Scanning & Imaging Tips: Gallbladder
The gallbladder can be found in so many different locations and imaging planes. The operator will often need to fan, rotate, and angle the transducer.
