Study Notes
Imaging Methods for the Hepatobiliary System
- Methods for imaging the hepatobiliary system include plain film, ultrasound (transabdominal, endoscopic, intraoperative), computed tomography (CT), including routine staging (portal venous phase) and triple-phase characterization (CT), CT cholangiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), operative cholangiography, postoperative cholangiography (T-tube), angiography (diagnostic and interventional), and radionuclide imaging (static with colloid, dynamic with iminodiacetic acid derivatives).
Imaging Methods for the Pancreas
- Methods for imaging the pancreas include plain abdominal films, ultrasound (transabdominal, intraoperative, endoscopic), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Plain Films
- Plain films are not a routine imaging procedure for the pancreas or hepatobiliary system.
- They may incidentally show air in the biliary tree or portal venous system, or opaque gallstones or pancreatic calcifications.
