MRI cholangiography

MRI cholangiography is a specialized imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the bile ducts, which carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines. It is a non-invasive way for doctors to examine the biliary system without surgery or ionizing radiation. The procedure helps identify blockages, stones, tumors, or inflammation affecting bile flow. Often, a special dye may be used to enhance the images, but no contrast is typically needed. MRI cholangiography provides valuable information to diagnose and plan treatment for biliary conditions accurately.
