"The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) consensus recommendation for the management of incidentally detected gallbladder polyps was published in 2021 1."
"The SRU consensus recommendation is one of many guidelines for the management of incidentally detected gallbladder polyps. The SRU consensus recommendation has been found to have substantial agreement amongst abdominal radiologists 3."
"The SRU consensus recommendation is one of many guidelines for the management of incidentally detected gallbladder polyps. The SRU consensus recommendation has been found to have substantial agreement amongst abdominal radiologists 3."
"The SRU 1 examined existing research and discovered no substantial relationship between gallbladder cancer and gallbladder polyps. They identified three types of polyps: non-neoplastic, benign neoplastic, and malignant."
"history of primary sclerosing cholangitis: refer to ACG Clinical Guideline: Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis 2"
"the number of polyps does not change risk stratification - follow SRU recommendations for the largest polyp 1,3"

"pedunculated ball-on-the-wall or pedunculated with thin stalk"
"pedunculated with thick/wide stalk or sessile"
"NB thin stalks can be very difficult to visualise on gray-scale ultrasound and are non-measurable; the presence of a vessel at the polyp base or "wiggling" in place implies a thin stalk is present 1. Thick stalks are visible/measurable 3."
"if increase ≥4 mm in ≤12 months or reaches the threshold size within the category, surgical consultation is recommended"
