Abstract
A linear echo connecting the gallbladder to the right or main portal vein was seen on ultrasonograms in a high percentage of patients (68%). This echo represents a portion of the main lobar fissure of the liver and appears to be a reliable anatomical indicator of the location of the gallbladder. The anatomical features responsible for this echo are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
