Cholangiography-- Radiographic examination of the bile ducts after injection with a special dye.
Abnormal results for a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography are enlargement of bile ducts.
Normal results of a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography are dye evenly distributed throughout the bile ducts.

No . False. Not True.
Patient aftercare for percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography involve monitoring vital signs and watching for complications. Bed rest for 6 hours.
NO. (A Cholangiography is the imaging of the bile duct)
The conditions of obesity, gas, and failure to fast can affect test results.
The medical term for this procedure is "percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography" (PTC). It involves using a needle to pass through the liver to inject contrast medium into the bile ducts to visualize their structure.
The risks of this test are septicemia (blood poisoning); bile peritonitis; dye occasionally leaks from the liver into the abdomen which may cause bleeding or infection.

Angiography is an x-ray imaging technique usually used to image hearts and vessels. New imaging techniques are also available for the same purpose, for example, CT angiography and MR angiography.
