13.4 Evaluation and Further Testing

Sonography
..............................................................................................................
n
Changes in the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts can be detected sonographically with very high confidence and can generally be identified.
n
Diagnostic accuracy:
x
Obstructive cholestasis can be disti nguished from nonobstructive forms in almost 100 % of cases.
x
Intra- and extrahepatic stones i 15 mm can be correctly diagnosed in 100 % of cases.
x
Intrahepatic tumors can be detected and identified indirectly based on circum­scribed ductal dilatation, and extrahepatic tumors can be directly visualized.
x
Prepapillary stones are more difficult to detect (although this is examiner­dependent).
x
Sclerosing cholangitis can be correctly diagnosed in approximately 80 % of cases.
Further Testing
..............................................................................................................
n
Primary biliary cirrhosis: The clinical picture is that of cholestasis, but ultrasound
does not show significant hepatic or biliary abnormalities. Can be diagnosed by the determination of antimitochondrial antibodies (positive in 96 % of cases).
n
Sclerosing cholangitis: Sonography shows echogenic wall thickening, string-of-
beads irregularities due to mural fibrosis, and circumscribed foci of intrahepatic ductal dilatation. Liver histology and ERC confirm the diagnosis, with ERC showing duct irregularities (suppurative cholangitis secondary to biliary obstruction should be excluded). Ulcerative colitis is a common associated finding in many patients.
n
Suspicion of carcinoma: ERC is the best modality for the further investigation of
canalicular lesions, but it is not useful for evaluating the pericanalicular spread of a biliary tumor. Even CT is of limited value in this regard, and ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice.
n
A detected tumor can be investigated further by FNAB with cytologic and histolog­ic evaluation.
n
Other indeterminate lesions of the extrahepatic bile ducts can be investigated by endosonography (biliary tumor or stone) or by biliary tract endoscopy.
n
Metastases can be identified as the circumscribed cause of cholestasis by ultra­sound and/or CT, or can be confirmed by FNAB.

Sonographic Anatomy and Normal Findings
..............................................................................................................
n
The gallbladder nestles in the gallbladder fossa on the visceral surface of the liver, with only its fundus projecting past the inferior hepatic surface.
n
The gallbladder is bounded on the right side by the right lobe of the liver, on the left side by the quadrate lobe, and posteriorly by the antrum or duodenal bulb (Fig.
474a, p. 323, and Fig. 474b, p. 323).
n
Although many variants may be encountered (e.g., spherical, oblong, serpentine), the “textbook” gallbladder is pear-shaped and displays typical cystic features on ultrasound (anechoic interior, distal acoustic enhancement, smooth margins).
n
Normal dimensions: longitudinal diameter I 100 mm, transverse diameter
I 40 mm; volume I 100 mL, wall thickness I 3 mm (Fig.
488).

Scanning Protocol
..............................................................................................................
n
Transducer: 3.5–5.0 MHz
n
Patients are generally examined in a fasting state.
n
The patient is usually positioned supine, or occasionally in left lateral decubitus or a standing position (“rolling stones,” polyps).
n
The patient can be rapidly turned to mobilize crystal aggregates and microliths, causing them to swirl within the gallbladder lumen.
n
The examination includes digital palpation (Murphy’s sign of acute cholecystitis = pain on gallbladder compression).
n
Intercostal scans are helpful in patients with an elevated hemidiaphragm, in heavy-set patients, and after surgical operations.
Overview and Classification of Findings
..............................................................................................................
n
Classification: Gallbladder abnormalities seen on ultrasound are classified as
changes of size, shape, or location; intraluminal changes; and wall changes.
x
Change in gallbladder size: This may have a functional or organic cause.
x
Intraluminal and wall changes: It is important to distinguish between intralum­inal and wall changes because of their different therapeutic implications. When wall changes are found, it is essential to make a detailed evaluation with mag­nified views and to document the findings in multiple planes (to determine whether operative treatment is indicated).
n
Overview:
x
Changes in size, shape, and location: see Table 57, p. 335.
x
Wall changes: see Table 58, p. 339.
x
Intraluminal changes: see Table 59, p. 364.

Nonvisualization of the Gallbladder
..............................................................................................................
n
Scanning tip: If you are having difficulty visualizing the gallbladder, look for it in
the lesser pelvis, to the left or right of its typical location, or just beneath the ab­dominal wall (using the correct probe focus). Generally it can be located by mov­ing the probe from a flank scan toward the midline while watching the inferior border of the liver, or by scanning subcostally along the interlobar fissure from the vena cava to the gallbladder bed.
n
Gallbladder agenesis: often misinterpreted as a shrunken gallbladder; extremely
rare
n
Contracted gallbladder (see Fig. 489c, p. 336): History: “Have you recently eaten
or smoked?”
n
Unusual location: just beneath the abdominal wall in thin patients; in the midab-
domen or lower abdomen in elderly cachexic patients. May be displaced laterally or medially in patients with hepatic cirrhosis
n
Empty gallbladder (Fig. 491a): obstructing stone with a check-valve mechanism
in the cystic duct or infundibulum
n
Echogenic gallbladder (Fig. 491b): e.g., sludge, empyema, tumor
n
Stony gallbladder (see Fig. 512, p. 349): stone-filled gallbladder that does not
have an anechoic lumen
n
Shrunken gallbladder (Fig. 491c): often identifiable only by distal shadowing
n
Perforated gallbladder (Fig. 491d):
x
Bizarre hypoechoic formation
x
Free or confined fluid
n
Postoperative gallbladder
