Abstract
Ultrasound is the first line imaging modality to assess the biliary system and its related disorders, providing a unique medical tool for the differential diagnosis of jaundice. Normal anatomy, congenital variants, inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic biliary diseases can be rapidly diagnosed with high accuracy, especially when B-mode is integrated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Ultrasound has also a critical role in the follow-up of patients undergoing interventional procedures such as biopsies, biliary drainage and stenting.
