What Does Shadow Above Gall Bladder In Ultrasound Indicate?
Went in for a number of accident related xrays and have been scheduled for another chest x-ray as there was some thicking- not to mention a ultrasound as a result of seeing a shadow above my gall bladder. Could these be related to the accident or should I be concerned of something more serious?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
Shadow usually inidcates some lesion which may be benign or malignant and in this case I suggest to do Ct scan to clear this out since ultrasound is not specific enough for it and i cant discriminate what exactly this is. All in all, this is most probably nothing and wont reuired further steps but as I saind, this should be ruled out.
I hope I have answered you query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
