A member asked:
Had 2 us: 06/2015 9:30am, common bile duct - 3mm; 05/2016 11:15am, cbd is 3.6mm. both fasting. is the size increase of cbd a concern (20% increase) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly doubtful that: it is significant, both measurements are in the normal range. Changes of a few tenths of a millimeter are likely simply due to slight differences in measurement technique or normal physiologic changes.
