Prospective real-time ultrasonographic examination of the gallbladders of 45 neonates yielded gallbladder images that ranged from 9 to 54 mm in length (mean 30, SD 9.2) and 3 to 15 mm in diameter (mean 8, SD 2.9). Previous reports of gallbladder sonography in neonates are reviewed. Ultrasound is valuable for identifying gallstones, establishing whether a large gallbladder is the cause of a right upper quadrant mass, and following the course of a distended gallbladder. The role of sonography in diagnosing neonatal acalculous cholecystitis is less clear.
对45例新生儿的胆囊进行前瞻性实时超声检查，获得的胆囊图像长度在9至54毫米之间（平均30毫米，标准差9.2），直径在3至15毫米之间（平均8毫米，标准差2.9）。回顾了先前关于新生儿胆囊超声检查的报告。超声对于识别胆结石、确定右上腹肿块是否由胆囊增大引起以及追踪胆囊扩张的病程很有价值。超声在诊断新生儿非结石性胆囊炎中的作用尚不清楚。
