The clinical utility of spiral CT cholangiography

Spiral CT cholangiography has received little attention, yet in a single br eath-hold spiral and with limited manipulation at the workstation it can yi eld high resolution images of the biliary tract. In addition it can clearly demonstrate periampullary detail and contribute some dynamic information r egarding biliary excretion. The clinical utility of this technique is illus trated and discussed.
