A 71-year-old male patient visited his family doctor complaining of persistent mid-abdominal discomfort that had lasted for about a day. He showed no fever and no indications of systemic infection.
Physical examination revealed localized tenderness in the right upper quadrant, while the liver appeared normal in size and texture on palpation.
A point-of-care examination was then performed using the Evemed Portable Ultrasound. Scanning from the right subcostal area clearly revealed a small echogenic focus within a contracted gallbladder, producing a distinct posterior acoustic shadow — findings consistent with a gallstone.
