Question

what percentage of gallstones will show up on x - ray? please select your answer... a 5 - 10 b 10 - 15 c 25 d 50

Explanation:

Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder. Most gallstones (about 80 - 90%) are cholesterol - based and are radiolucent (not visible on X - ray). Only a small percentage (about 10 - 20%) are radiopaque (visible on X - ray) due to their composition (e.g., pigment stones with higher calcium content). Among the given options, 10 - 15% is within the typical range of gallstones that can be visible on X - ray.
