Radiologic Evaluation of Obstructive Jaundice

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1974
Radiologic methods helpful for evaluating jaundiced patients fall into two main categories – the physiologic and the anatomic.

Obstructive Jaundice and Cholangitis

2017
The most serious complications of gallstone disease occur when the bile duct is affected by stone disease. Stones that migrate to the bile duct carry the risk of causing biliary obstruction with the potentially more serious complications of acute biliary pancreatitis (Chap. 8) and cholangitis.
