Overview
X-rays are not generally useful for diagnosing cholangitis; they are mainly used to obtain a visual impression of the biliary system once an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been conducted.
Cholangitis X-Ray
- X-ray images of cholangitis are known as cholangiograms.[1]
- Gallstones are visible as nonopacified areas in the contour of the duct.[2]
- X-rays are taken to get a visual impression of the biliary system once the ERCP has been conducted and dye has been injected into the bile duct.[1][3]
