Choledocholithiasis formation or presence of gallstones in the common bile duct
Biliary tract examinations are performed to evaluate what? liver function, patency and condition of the ducts, concentrating and emptying power of the gallbladder, presence of gallstones.
Technical consideration for biliary tract imaging include: small FSS, close collimation, short exposure time, soft tissue technique (70-80kVp), expose after exhalation.
Operative cholangiography indications include: investigate bile duct patency, sphincter of oddi function, reveal the presence of caliculi, demonstrate intraluminal neoplasms, demonstrate stricture or dilation of ducts.
Patient position for operative cholangiography: supine, RPO (15-20 degrees), C-arm centered over the inferior rib margin.
Structures shown during operative cholangiography: biliary system full of contrast, branches of the hepatic duct, pancreatic duct, no extravasation of contrast, contrast emptied into the duodenum, any retained gallstones.

What exam is usually done prior to an ERCP? ultrasound for pseudocysts
How can we see the layering of stones in the gallbladder? on a Rt lateral decub
