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 qua lity. The common bile duct and common hepatic duct were adequately visualiz ed in 19 (95%) subjects. Helical CT cholangiography with oral cholecystogra phic contrast material is feasible and deserves further clinical studies.
