T tube angiography

"T" tube cholangiography is a commonly used X-ray examination method for examining the biliary tract after surgery. This method of examination is simple and safe to operate, and the contrast effect is excellent. This method can be applied to patients who have a "T" tube drainage. An iodine allergy test should be performed before the test, and the test can be checked for negative. The examination is usually performed in the radiology department. The patient should be supine. In the case of strict disinfection, the contrast agent is slowly injected into the biliary tract through the "T" tube. Under the X-ray screen, you can see the filling of the biliary tract, whether there is any lesion, and whether the contrast agent enters the duodenum, etc. If the angiography is satisfactory, you can make a film.
