Cholangiography

Cholangiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the bile ducts, which are tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. This procedure can help diagnose conditions like blockages, infections, or tumors in the bile ducts. It involves using a contrast dye, injected into the bile ducts, which highlights these structures on X-ray images. Cholangiography can be performed in a variety of ways, including as part of an endoscopic procedure or during surgery, offering valuable insights into issues affecting liver and digestive health.
