DOES ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOGRAPHY (ERC) HAVE A ROLE IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF BILIARY DISORDERS

Abstract

Billiary disorders can be diagnosed with non invasive imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography (MRC) and Spiral Computerized Axial Tomography (CT scan). Hence, the role of ERC in the management of biliary disorders is mainly therapeutic. The aim of this study was to identify the diagnostic yield of ERC.
