“…To overcome this problem, the choices are either to improve the ultrasound technique (oral administration of water, position modifications, administration of fatty meals or medications to increase bile flow) either to implement more advanced modalities (endoscopic, intraoperative laparoscopic, or intraductal ultrasound) or to examine the bile ducts with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Endoscopic ultrasonography is reported to have sensitivity in detecting bile duct stones >90% and specificity >95% [52]. Similar values are reported for intraoperative and intraductal ultrasonography [53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60].…”
