title: [Obstructive Jaundice: diagnostic and therapeutic management].
abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide an update on imaging techniques for diagnosis and staging of clinical conditions leading to obstructive jaundice. Clinical and imaging findings of the most frequent diseases presenting as obstructive jaundice will be reviewed in order to optimize imaging strategies. Imaging and treatment strategies will be discussed in order to provide an optimal diagnosis and staging with the least invasive techniques in order to minimize complications in these patients.
