"Ultrasound is the first best test when assessing the gallbladder. It is cheap, quick and easy and requires no exposure to radiation. Patients need to fast before their ultrasound to ensure that the gallbladder is as filled with bile as possible. It is impossible to assess the gallbladder wall when it is non-distended."
