Guide

For the clinical team

Set up from the ultrasound or MRCP report

Start with normal anatomy. Use the ultrasound, MRCP or CT report to show how many gallstones there are, how big the largest is and where it is, and whether the gallbladder is inflamed, then show the treatment your team has discussed. Initial settings are examples: replace them with the report details.

Gallstones

Gallstones on the model

Changing a stone setting below also adds them.

How many stones

Largest stone mm

Use the size of the largest stone, as written in the report.

Where the largest stone isAny other stones are drawn in the gallbladder.

Gallbladder wall thickened or inflamed (cholecystitis)

Use what the report describes. The model does not decide this.

Number, largest size, place and an inflamed wall come from the report. The other stones’ number and sizes, the gallbladder’s shape and the stones’ rounded shapes are schematic.

Views and layers

Use Whole body, Abdomen and Gallbladder close-up to move closer in the same scene. The liver, stomach and bowel are see-through. Show / hide controls the body outline, liver, stomach and bowel, pancreas and kidneys, spine, measurements and labels.

In plain words

Key measurements

Stone values come from the report. The gallbladder, liver and bile ducts are an average adult’s; the stones’ shapes are simplified.

This is a simplified teaching model of gallstones. It does not interpret ultrasound or other scans, diagnose, or judge which treatment is right. Only the largest stone is placed from the report; other stones, a widened bile duct, pancreatitis and other problems are not shown. Important information · Nothing is saved.
