Overview
X-rays are not the most useful tool in diagnosing cholangitis and 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]
Primary sclerosing cholangitis[4]
