En conclusion
Pour qui?: chez tout malade suspect de pathologie lithiasique chez lequel une échographie de bonne qualité est normale.
Quand?: chez un malade ayant une alimentation orale, c’est-à-dire en dehors d’une période de jeûne prolongé, notamment au cours d’une pancréatite aiguë.
Comment?: c’est un examen apparemment facile qui doit cependant être soigneux.

For whom ?: in patients with suspected gallbladder lithiasis and normal good quality conventional ultrasonography.
When ?: in patients not fasting (particularly whose with recent acute pancreatitis).
How ?: gallbladder examination is usually easy but should be carefully performed.
