Hamada et al reported the upper limit of normal for the common bile duct in a Japanese population. The authors are from multiple hospitals in Japan.


Analysis: inner diameter of the most dilated part of the common bile duct in millimeters using non-pressure imaging

 

Age in Years

Upper Limit of Normal by Ultrasonography

0 to 7 years

(0.1714 * (age)) + 3.0

7 to 19 years

(0.1 * (age)) + 3.5

20 to 70 years, using INT((age)/10)

(0.04286 * ((INT((age)/10)))^2) + (0.12 * (INT((age)/10))) + 5.517
