Imaging Methods for Hepatobiliary and Pancreas

The system within our body that processes and eliminates waste products from the blood. It is a complex network of organs that plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and detoxification.

A medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.

A procedure where a contrast medium is injected into the circulatory system to enhance the visibility of specific organs and structures on radiographic images.

A medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of organs and tissues.

A type of medical imaging scan that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of tissues and organs.

A simple imaging technique using X-rays to visualize internal structures. It provides basic information about organ shape and size.

Non-invasive imaging technique using sound waves to create images. It's commonly used for examining the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

A type of Ultrasound examination conducted through the abdominal wall.

A type of Ultrasound performed using a probe inserted into the body through a natural orifice or surgical incision.

An Ultrasound procedure performed during surgery. It's used for visualizing tissues during a surgical procedure.

A minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached (endoscope) to visualize the bile ducts and pancreatic duct. It can also be used for therapeutic procedures like removing stones or dilating narrowed areas.

A procedure where a needle is inserted into the liver to inject contrast dye into the bile ducts. This allows for imaging of the ducts and any blockages.

A type of cholangiography (bile duct imaging) performed during surgery. It involves injecting contrast dye directly into the bile ducts to evaluate their structure and identify any abnormalities.

A procedure done after surgery to check the bile ducts. A small tube (T-tube) is left in the bile duct during surgery, and contrast dye is injected through it to visualize the duct.

A type of ultrasound examination for the biliary system and pancreas.

A type of radiographic study using contrast dye injected into arteries, mainly for diagnosis of vascular abnormalities.

A type of X-ray imaging that uses a series of thin-beam X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body.

A medical imaging technique that utilizes radioactive substances to visualize the pancreas. It involves injecting a radioactive tracer and capturing images of its distribution within the pancreas.

A simple X-ray of the abdomen that can provide basic information about the size and shape of the pancreas.

A type of radionuclide imaging that captures the pancreas's function over time. It uses radioactive iminodiacetic acid derivatives that are processed by the pancreas.

A type of radionuclide imaging that captures a static image of the pancreas. A radioactive colloid is injected and its distribution within the pancreas is imaged.

A medical imaging technique that uses radioactive substances to visualize organs and tissues. It involves injecting a radioactive tracer and capturing images of its distribution within the body.
