> "can we scan stones stuck in bile duct by ultrasound and how correct is the measurement of stones by ultrasound."
No, you cannot trust to ultrasounds.
Cholangiogram is far better tool to diagnose stones, but I would not recommend it to anyone ... it is bad procedure!
Cholangiogram
Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram (PTCA)
Definition
PTCA is a fluoroscopic (using a special X-ray machine that projects images onto a TV screen) examination of the bile ducts inside and outside the liver after a contrast medium is injected directly into a liver bile duct.
Why is the Test Performed?
To determine if there is an obstruction inside bile ducts.
How is Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram (PTCA) Performed?
The test is performed in a radiology department by a radiologist. You will be asked to lie supine (on your back) on the X-ray table. The upper right side of the abdomen is cleansed and a local anesthetic is given. A long, thin, flexible needle is then inserted through the skin into the liver. With guidance from the fluoroscope, the bile duct is found and the contrast medium injected. The contrast medium then flows through the ducts and can be seen on the fluoroscopic monitor.
What do Abnormal Results Mean?
The results may show ducts that are dilated which may indicate there is an obstruction. The obstruction may be caused by infection, scarring, stones, or cancer in the bile ducts, liver, pancreas, or region of the gallbladder.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
biliary obstruction
Cholangitis
> "Can frequent ultrasounds have radiation effects on the body like x-ray?"
They are more or less "safe" for adults, but not for fetus.
You don't neeed them. You need health, not diagnoses. Go for health. Diagnoses never brings health.
> "Do the stones pass from lever to gb and while doing so, what could be their sizes ?"
Possible, if they are small ( few mm). Bigger stones can not enter gallbladder, they stay inside ducts.
> "Are they small while passing from lever to gb and get bigger in gb with the passage of time."
Most likely, but gallbladder can also create stones from bile, small stones doesn't have to be first created inside bile ducts.
> "I have been reading the posts of a number of people but I have not seen even one person, though he reports great improvements and passing of stones, can claim that now his gb is free of stones. "
