Cholangiography, the Glossary
Cholangiography is the imaging of the bile duct (also known as the biliary tree) by x-rays and an injection of contrast medium.[1]

Bile duct
A bile duct is any of a number of long tube-like structures that carry bile, and is present in most vertebrates. Cholangiography and bile duct are Hepatology.
See Cholangiography and Bile duct
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems.
See Cholangiography and Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Fluorescence
Fluorescence is one of two kinds of emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation.
See Cholangiography and Fluorescence
Intravenous cholangiography
Intravenous cholangiography is a form of cholangiography that was introduced in 1954. Cholangiography and Intravenous cholangiography are Digestive system imaging, Hepatology and Projectional radiography.
See Cholangiography and Intravenous cholangiography
Liver
The liver is a major metabolic organ exclusively found in vertebrate animals, which performs many essential biological functions such as detoxification of the organism, and the synthesis of proteins and various other biochemicals necessary for digestion and growth.
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a medical imaging technique. Cholangiography and Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography are Digestive system imaging.
See Cholangiography and Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, percutaneous hepatic cholangiogram (PTHC) is a radiological technique used to visualize the anatomy of the biliary tract. Cholangiography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography are Digestive system imaging and Projectional radiography.
See Cholangiography and Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography
X-ray
X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
