Gallbladder/pancreas: Usually you start with a history and physical and many times a doctor can tell you whether or not one of these organs is affected. An ultrasound can show you gallstones or inflammation around the gallbladder. It wouldn't visualize the pancreas as well- a dedicated ct scan using pancreatic protocol would be better. You'd probably have lfts done as well as a lipase and/or amylase.
