cholangiography
Cholangiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the bile ducts, which are part of the digestive system that conduct bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. This procedure can help diagnose blockages or abnormalities within the bile ducts. It usually involves the injection of a contrast dye before X-rays, MRI, or CT scans are taken.

Cholangiography
Cholangiography is the imaging of the bile duct by x-rays. There are at least two kinds of cholangiography: ⁕percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography: Examination of liver and bile ducts by x-rays. This is accomplished by the insertion of a thin needle into the liver carrying a contrast medium to help to see blockage in liver and bile ducts. ⁕endoscopic retrograde choledochography. Although this is a form of imaging, it is both diagnostic and therapeutic, and is often classified with surgeries rather than with imaging. In both cases fluorescent fluids are used to create contrasts that make the diagnosis possible. Cholangiography has largely replaced the previously used method of intravenous cholangiography.
