Hi & Welcome.

Incomplete data like age, gender, purpose of doing ultrasound scan???

The given report of the ultrasound scan is suggestive of Cholelithiasis (multiple gall stones).

If your friend has no symptoms such as severe abdominal pain with vomiting such type of stones can be treated with the help of a gall stone dissolution drug called Ursodeoxycholic acid. It helps in gradual dissolution of gallstones which may require 6-18 months of duration.

However, a surgical opinion is what is the best suggestion that can be given at this stage.

Hope this answers your query.
