Posterior shadowing. sludge Biliary sludge is a mixture of particulate solids that have precipitated from bile. Such sediment consists of cholesterol crystals, calcium bilirubinate pigment, and other calcium salts. Sludge is usually detected on transabdominal ultrasonography. Acute cholecystitis Positive tender on probing sign Thickened edematous GB wall Distended GB. Peri-cholecystic fluid collection. Ultrasound images showing acute calculous cholecystitis with pericholecystic inflammatory changes: gallbladder distention (69,61 mm transverse diameter), wall thickening (yellow arrow), gallstone (green arrow), echogenic inflamed fat (white arrow) and pocket of oedema fluid (red arrow).
