Abstract
The echographic appearance of the wall of normal wellβfilled and contracted gallbladders was studied prospectively in 25 persons. Using grayβscale equipment, the wall of the filled gallbladder appeared as a single reflecting structure, whereas during contraction, three different components could be distinguished. The exact recognition of this particular pattern is important in the differential diagnosis of real wall thickening and incomplete contraction.

## Abstract We have used a combination of linearβarray real time and contact sector scanning to image the umbilical veins and arteries. The best images are made perpendicular to the cord. The arteries spiral the vein and the cord is a tortuous structure. Thus there is considerable variability of th
