![]() | Media file 1: Longitudinal sonogram of gallbladder shows a hyperechoic focus in the anterior wall with reverberation artifact, which is characteristic of hyperplastic cholecystosis. |
![]() | Media file 3: Oral cholecystogram shows focal fundal thickening in a patient with focal fundal adenomyomatosis. |
![]() | Media file 4: Transverse sonogram in a patient with adenomyomatosis. Gallbladder wall is thickened, and many hyperechoic foci are seen in the gallbladder wall. |
