Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography

Japanese: endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography（英語表記）endoscopicretrogradecholangiopancreatography

…In such cases, a direct contrast method is used, in which a contrast agent is directly injected into the bile duct and an image is taken. There are two methods: percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), in which a thin needle is used to puncture the skin and liver from outside the body and inject contrast agent into the intrahepatic bile duct, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), in which a duodenoscope is used to observe the bile duct duodenal opening (papilla of Vater) while inserting a thin tube into it and injecting contrast agent. Both are excellent methods that can clearly observe the bile duct by injecting sufficient contrast agent even when bile secretion is impaired due to liver dysfunction or bile duct circulation disorder, but they are technically difficult and sometimes dangerous, so hospitalization is required. …

From [Endoscope]

…(3) X-ray imaging using an endoscope This is a method of injecting a contrast agent into the target area using an endoscope and taking an X-ray. The most commonly used methods are to inject a contrast agent retrogradely from the ureteral opening into the renal pelvis while observing with a cystoscope and take an image (retrograde pyelography), and to insert a thin tube into the duodenal papilla while observing with a duodenoscope, inject a contrast agent, and take images of the bile duct and pancreatic duct (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP). For details, see the section on cholangiography). …
