A dilated bowel duct indicates that there is an enlargement or widening of the duct that carries bile from the liver to the intestines, often due to an obstruction or blockage. This condition can result from factors such as gallstones, tumors, or strictures. Dilatation can lead to symptoms like abdominal pain, jaundice, or changes in bowel habits and may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
