Abstract
Bedside ultrasound is accurate for the finding of gallstones, but the imaging diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is more challenging. There remains the potential for this to improve the efficiency of surgical assessment in suspected acute gallstone disease and this supports the ongoing provision of bedside ultrasound in surgical services.
