Chracterizaion of Gall Bladder Stones Using Ultra Sonography

Abstract

Gall bladder stone is a common clinical problem. Accurate diagnosis is essential to minimize the complications of this disease in order to establish are liable diagnosis ,many factors need to present e.g. patient with clinical signs and symptoms of right upper quadrant pain ,that is irradiated to right shoulder ,positive Murphy’s sign and other radiological diagnostic methods .From which ultra sonography ,that is chosen modality for this research . the purpose of this research is to assess the role of ultra sound in diagnosing gall stone .The target of this study is the patient who entered ultra sound department with classical signs and symptoms of g.b stone .U/S is now the most widely used and important imaging investigation for detection of gall stone . This research reviewed the gross and sonographyic anatomy of gall bladder, clinical and ultra son graphic finding of gall stone. This study is a practical study which was carried out in Omdurman Military Hospital from Augest 2015 to March 2016 .It discusses the role of ultrasound scanning in characterization of gall stone. 50 patient were scanned by ultrasound machine using 3.5-5 MHZ, curved transducer All patients were evaluated with ultra sonography following the international scanning guide line and protocols. The age of patients is between ( 9 _ 86 )years old ,( 64 %) were female and ( 36%) were male , The youngest patient in this study was 9 years old male ,while the oldest was 86years. Range of age group accumulation for gall stone presence was (31-50) Years in both female and male .The study find that female patients were affected more than male. We considered in our study the relationship between obesity, sudden weight loss in male and female, multiple pregnancy and other related diseases such as Diabetic, Hypertensive patients, Thyroid gland diseases and the gall stone discover. From this study it finds that ultra sound is an excellent imaging modality for evaluation of patient suspected to have gall stone, which can provide information about the presence of gall stone and itscompilication. it is preferred to be the first method of choice.
