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]

Primary sclerosing cholangitis[4]
