Abstract

Objective: The diagnostic value and characteristics of color Doppler ultrasound examination for gallstones were analyzed. Methods: 40 patients diagnosed (confirmed by pathological review) between March 2023 and March 2024 were studied by color Doppler ultrasound. The accuracy of gallstone classification and the detection rate of gallstone diameter were analyzed. Results: 40 patients were examined by color Doppler ultrasound. A total of 37 cases were detected. The ex-amination accuracy rate was 92.50%. Color Doppler ultrasound was 90.91%. The coincidence rate of gallbladder neck stones was 100.00%, the agreement rate for the diagnosis of filled stones was 90.00%, and the coincidence rate of diagnosed sediment-like stones was 85.71%. The detection rate of color Doppler ultrasound was 50.00% for stones <0.5cm, the detection rate of stones diameter of 0.5-1.0cm was 92.59%, and the detection rate of stones diameter > 1.0cm was 100.00%. Conclusion: The color Doppler ultrasound examination has high accuracy and the detection rate of gallstone classification and stone diameter.
