Figure 1 Electronic radial EUS (7.5 MHz) of the apex of the duodenal bulb showing a nondilated common bile duct (CBD), the pancreatic duct (pd), and the portal vein (PV) alongside one another in a “stack sign” view with a hyperechoic (bright) 2.5 mm CBD stone (calipers) with hypoechoic (dark) shadowing (thick arrow), along with downstream wedge-shaped shadowing from multiple other stones (small arrows). MRCP before EUS in this patient suspected an intraductal tissue mass. Stones were removed at ERCP.
