Gallstone formation is a very common disease throughout the world. There are several types of gallstones; they are bilirubin (calcium-bilirubinate and pure pigment stone), cholesterol, a mixture of bilirubin and cholesterol, and inorganic stone. Identification of the type of gallstone is the prerequisite in the diagnosis of gallbladder and bilary tree malfunction.
