Interventional radiology in the biliary tract.
Interventional radiology in the biliary tract comprises an increasing range of techniques, most of which involve the percutaneous placement and manipulation of some type of catheter system in the bile ducts or gallbladder under imaging control. These techniques have become well established in the management of a number of benign and malignant biliary disorders.
