Abstract:
Twenty asymptomatic volunteers underwent helical computed tomographic (CT) cholangiography 10-12 hours after ingesting iopanoic acid. Three observers assessed the images for the extent of bile duct visualization and image quality. The common bile duct and common hepatic duct were adequately visualized in 19 (95%) subjects. Helical CT cholangiography with oral cholecystographic contrast material is feasible and deserves further clinical studies.
