Summary

This study compares the carbon footprint of two tests used to diagnose gallstones in the bile duct: endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Both tests are equally accurate, but MRCP uses large, power-hungry machines, while EUS is more portable and uses less energy. Researchers will measure the total carbon dioxide emissions for each procedure in 200 adults with a moderate chance of gallstones, aiming to identify which approach is more environmentally friendly.
