    There are three main types of gallstones that can form: pure cholesterol stones, pure pigment stones, and mixed stones containing both cholesterol and pigment. Imaging tests like ultrasound and CT scans are used to diagnose gallstones and related conditions like pancreatic cancer, with CT scans able to identify masses in the pancreas that may encase or narrow blood vessels.
