Accuracy of Ultrasound in Diagnosing Gallbladder Polyps at a Community Hospital.

Conclusions: The accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound in diagnosing true polyps is poor, with only 3% of polyps identified as adenomas based on pathology. Surgeons should use caution when making clinical decisions based on polyps identified on ultrasound, and more stringent diagnostic criteria are needed in order to decrease the false positive rate for diagnosis and screening.
