Cholangiography Transduodenal

Transduodenal cholangiography (from Latin trans - through + anat. duodenum - duodenum) is a method of x-ray examination of the bile ducts, in which a contrast agent is injected through the duodenum.

The purpose of this procedure is to obtain an image of the bile ducts (common bile duct, right and left hepatic ducts, pancreatic duct) to identify their possible pathologies.

The procedure is performed endoscopically - a probe is inserted into the lumen of the duodenum through an endoscope, through which a contrast agent is injected under X-ray control. Then a series of x-rays are taken, from which doctors can assess the condition of the biliary tract and identify diseases such as stones in the gallbladder and ducts, tumors, strictures, etc.

Transduodenal cholangiography is considered the most physiological method for studying the biliary system. Its advantages are the possibility of multiple contrasting of the ducts, high resolution and lower radiation exposure compared to other types of cholangiography.

Transduodenal cholangiography is a method of X-ray examination of the bile ducts, which is carried out by introducing a contrast agent into the duodenum (Duodenum) and subsequent evaluation of the image on an X-ray machine.

The transduodenal cholangiography procedure is usually performed in a hospital setting and requires special preparation of the patient. Before starting the procedure, you must make sure that there are no contraindications, such as an allergy to the contrast agent, the presence of stones in the gall bladder or bile ducts, pregnancy, etc.

To perform transduodenal cholangiography, special equipment and a contrast agent are used. During the procedure, the doctor injects contrast through a probe into the duodenum, after which he takes a series of x-rays, which are then analyzed to identify pathologies of the bile ducts.

Transduodenal cholangiography is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the bile ducts and allows us to identify the presence of stones, tumors, inflammatory processes and other pathologies. Thanks to this method, doctors can begin treatment in a timely manner and prevent the development of complications.
