دراسة تحليلية للحالات الاولى لتصوير الطرق الصفراوية بالطريق الراجع و الامواج فوق الصوتية ( خبرة مشفى الاسد الجامعي ) خلال العام الدراسي 2006-2007

This study has included /105/ patients admitted to the department of internal medicine at Al-Assad University Hospital. The goal of the study is to compare the conclusion of ultrasound of patients expected to have a lesion at bile ducts inside and outside the liver with those of Endoscopies retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To ensure the role of (ERCP) in diagnosis and treatment, ultrasound is one of the most important methods used to study the liver and bile ducts because it is safe, noninvasive, and can easily be applied; also, sedation of the patient is not necessary. ERCP is more sensitive than ultrasound in that it can be used for both diagnosis and treatment, but it requires the efforts of both radiologists and internal doctors. Medical literature refers to the importance of (EUS) and MRCP for studying biliary ducts lesions. Since Al-Assad Hospital does not have the last two methods, we apply the ERCP.
