Cholangiography

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography (PTC)

A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) is an X-ray examination of the bile ducts through an IV. A needle is introduced through the skin into the liver, depositing the dye (contrast). The bile duct structure is then viewable via the X-ray.
