what are the typical presentation seen in x ray of gall stones?

Mostly gall stones are radiolucent
But if they are radio opaque we can get:
Mercedes benz sign in tri radiate stones
And
Seagull sign in biradiate stones
Although USG is the preferred investigation

That is great!
On X-ray gallstones may look like white shadows if they have calcium. They can show layers or a three-line “Mercedes-Benz” pattern.
But most gallstones are not seen on X-ray and need ultrasound!
