[Anicteric cholestasis: imaging and diagnostic strategy].
Cholestasis is due to abnormal biliary secretion, from hepatic or extra hepatic causes. The diagnostic strategy of anicteric cholestasis will be discussed, defining hepatic biologic abnormalities, and the role and sequence of imaging techniques based on clinical and biological findings. Main causes will be emphasized and illustrated with different radiological techniques (US, CT and MRI).
