Intravenous cholangiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the biliary tree, which includes the bile ducts and gallbladder. In this procedure, a contrast dye is injected intravenously, allowing for enhanced visualization of the biliary system on X-ray images. It is primarily used to diagnose conditions such as bile duct obstructions, gallstones, or tumors. While less common today due to advancements in non-invasive imaging techniques like MRCP (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography), it remains a useful tool in certain clinical situations.
