Transhepatic Cholangiography Analysis
transhepatic cholangiography is particularly useful in patients with bile duct strictures and tumors, as it defines the anatomy of the biliary tree proximal to the affected segment (Funaki, 2007).
7. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with newer techniques and contrast materials, accurate anatomic images can be obtained of the bile ducts and the pancreatic duct. It has a sensitivity and specificity of 95 and 89 percent, respectively, at detecting choledocholithiasis. If available, MRI with MRCP offers a single noninvasive test for the diagnosis of biliary tract and pancreatic disease (Griffin, et al, 2012).
