Ultrasound liver and hepatobiliary system report template
A structured ultrasound liver and hepatobiliary system report template used for ultrasound liver and gallbladder, ultrasound hepatobiliary system. It covers 7 sections and 36 fields, and includes a one-click normal preset.
Technique
Real-time transabdominal ultrasound of the abdomen was performed.
Sample normal ultrasound liver and hepatobiliary system report
This is the text SonoTez generates when the doctor applies the template's normal preset. Measurements are left for the doctor to enter.
Technique
Real-time transabdominal ultrasound of the abdomen was performed.
Findings
Liver
The liver shows homogeneous echotexture with normal echogenicity and smooth margins.
Intrahepatic biliary radicles are not dilated.
No focal liver lesion is seen.
Gallbladder
The gallbladder is well distended with normal wall thickness. No calculus or sludge is seen.
Common bile duct
The common bile duct is not dilated.
Pancreas
The pancreas is normal in size and echotexture.
No focal pancreatic lesion is seen.
Free fluid
No free fluid is seen in the peritoneal cavity.
No pleural effusion is seen on either side.
Impression
No significant sonographic abnormality is seen in the hepatobiliary structures examined.

Writing the impression
Answer the clinical question first, list the remaining findings in order of importance, and keep anything new out of the impression. If a structure was not fully seen, say so and give the reason. See how to write an ultrasound report for wording and certainty terms.
