Abstract
Right upper quadrant pain is one of the most common clinical presentations, and the gallbladder is one of the most frequently imaged organs in this setting. There are numerous radiographic tests for evaluation of the gallbladder. This section discusses each of these briefly, but is certainly not complete in its coverage of the various limitations and sequencing of these tests. Of note, radiology is not the only specialty to image the gallbladder as emergency department physicians and surgeons commonly image this organ at the bedside using ultrasound.
