Abstract		Tecnological advances, increased experience and the wide availability of the state of the art machines made ultrasound diagnostics an indispensable tool in the depiction of almost any kind of condition affecting the gallbladder and the bile ducts. Ultrasonography now plays a broader role not only in the diagnosis but also in the treatment of numerous diseases as an adjunct in the interventional radiology department. It is not only the bedside procedure of the highest flexibility and unlimited follow ups, it is now an evolving technique that extends to the intraductal, endoscopic and intraoperative fields. Ultrasonography has been reported to be very specific in biliary investigations with a liitle lower sensitivity, is effective and low cost investigation.
