Caption
The image above is from a patient presenting to the emergency department with recurrent abdominal pain. The image demonstrates a large amount of biliary sludge within a normal sized gallbladder. Biliary colic from intermittent obstruction was suspected. While the gallbladder wall is noted to be mildly thick here, cholecystitis was ruled out based on other clinical factors.
