Ultrasonography in evaluation of the jaundiced patient
Abstract:
We evaluated 105 patients with jaundice by greyscale ultrasound. Of these, 66 were proven to have extrahepatic obstruction and 39 had hepatocellular jaundice. The overall accuracy of sonography in distinguishing intrahepatic from extrahepatic jaundice was 93%. Intrahepatic ductal dilatation was identified by sonography in 46 of 49 patients (94%). In 26% of patients with extrahepatic obstruction there was only dilatation of the common duct and no intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Sonography is recommended as the imaging procedure of choice in the initial investigation of the jaundiced patient.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
