Very reliable: An ultrasound has outstanding sensitivity in picking up gallbladder stones.

Usually good. : Ultrasound is very good looking for gallstones. If negative, you can still have a dysfunctional gallbladder. Ask your doctor about a hida scan, a nuclear medicine study that looks at gallbladder function.
