Transhepatic percutaneous cholangiography continues to be a significant tool in the diagnosis of jaundice. It allows direct, easily achieved graphic delineation of the biliary system. Although specific diagnosis may not be possible, the site and extent of obstruction and the differentiation from intrahepatic parenchymal disease may be determined with a high degree of success.
