title: Computed tomography of the biliary tree.
abstract: Computed tomography clearly demonstrates the spectrum of biliary tract disease and can be useful as a screening examination and as a problem solving tool in patients with complex biliary disease processes. Tailoring of CT examinations for specific indications and attention to CT techniques for evaluating the biliary tract are necessary to maximize the utility of CT in these cases.
