FAQs

Is this examination useful for evaluating bile-duct anatomy before surgery?

Yes. Detailed biliary imaging can provide important information about the anatomy and branching pattern of the bile ducts, which may be useful for selected hepatobiliary surgical planning.

Do I need a kidney-function test before the examination?

Depending on your medical history and the use of intravenous iodinated contrast, the centre may recommend kidney-function assessment, particularly if you have known or suspected kidney impairment.

Should I inform the radiology team about previous contrast reactions or medical conditions?

Yes. Inform the team about previous reactions to iodinated contrast, kidney disease, allergies, pregnancy, liver or biliary disease, recent hepatobiliary surgery, and other relevant medical conditions before the examination.

Can this examination detect bile-duct obstruction?

Yes. It can help demonstrate dilatation of the bile ducts and abnormalities causing or associated with biliary obstruction, depending on the imaging protocol and the cause of the obstruction.
