title: Influence of endoscopic manipulation and patient position on cholangiographic interpretation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
abstract: The authors describe the influence of patient position and distorting forces during endoscopy on endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. For accurate diagnosis, radiographs must be taken after withdrawal of the endoscope and rotation of the patient to the supine position.
