A diagnostic imaging technique employs the utilization of a contrast medium, a substance that is resistant to X-rays, to enhance the visibility of the bile ducts on X-ray images. This procedure aids in the diagnosis of biliary stones, which resemble gallstones but form within the bile ducts rather than the gallbladder, as well as the identification of narrowings or tumors within the bile ducts. However, this procedure is gradually being supplanted by ultrasound scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both of which offer the ability to locate stones and provide detailed imaging without the need for contrast medium.<\/p>\n
