RESUMO
La naturaleza quística de la vesícula y de las vías biliares cuando están dilatadas, y las ventajas de la ecografía como técnica rápida, repetible, cómoda, de bajo coste, exenta de riesgo y con una sensibilidad y especificidad altas, hacen que esta se considere la técnica de elección en el estudio de la enfermedad biliar. Para el médico, la ecografía es una herramienta valiosa para el estudio de la enfermedad biliar y sus complicaciones, desde alteraciones analíticas en el perfil hepático, pasando por el dolor en el hipocondrio derecho o ictericia, hasta la sospecha de colelitiasis, colecistitis o tumores biliares (AU)
The cystic nature of the gallbladder and bile duct when dilated, and the advantages of ultrasound as a quick, reproducible, convenient, cheap and low risk technique, with a high sensitivity and specificity, make it the most eligible technique in biliary pathology studies. Ultrasound has become a valuable tool for doctors studying biliary pathology and its complications, from abnormal liver function results, right upper quadrant pain, or jaundice, to cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, or suspicion of biliary tumors (AU)
