9. Diagnosis
If you are showing symptoms of biliary colic then you will likely be referred to a specialist to help determine what the cause is. The specialist will ask you some questions, and some tests might be performed in order to understand what is causing the symptoms.
In many cases, an ultrasound will be performed to help get an image of what is happening internally. This is the most common method, but an MRI and/or a CT scan might also be used in some cases. Once a diagnosis has been reached, then medical professionals can begin with the appropriate treatment, if any.
