Gallbladder polyps are usually diagnosed with abdominal ultrasound. Key features assessed include:
• Polyp size (in millimetres)
• Number of polyps
• Shape (sessile or pedunculated)
• Gallbladder wall thickening
• Presence of gallstones
Additional imaging such as MRI, CT, contrast‑enhanced ultrasound, or endoscopic ultrasound may be used in selected cases.Report this post
