What Is a T-Tube Cholangiogram?
The gallbladder is often a dense eggplant-shaped or pear-shaped shadow, 7-10 cm long and about 3-4 cm wide, located below the lower edge of the right upper abdominal liver. A variety of direct visualization of the bile duct have good results. In addition to the common bile duct and common hepatic duct, the left and right hepatic ducts and some branches in the liver can be seen. When the normal bile duct is filled, the contour is smooth, the thickness is uniform, and the density is uniform.
- "T" tube cholangiography is a common X-ray examination method to check the biliary tract after surgery. This method is easy to operate, safe, and excellent in angiography. It can be applied to patients with "T" tube drainage.

Clinical significance of T-ray angiography

Unsuitable population: Patients who are allergic to iodine have severe liver insufficiency. People with severe heart and lung disease. Requirements during examination: The patient should lie on his back and cooperate with the doctor. After the patient is examined, the T tube must be opened for one day.

The patient should lie supine, and under strict disinfection, the contrast agent is slowly injected into the biliary tract through a "T" tube. Under the X-ray fluorescent screen, you can see the filling of the biliary tract, the presence or absence of lesions, and whether the contrast agent has entered the duodenum. If the contrast is satisfactory, you can take a picture.
