BILIARY TRACT CANCER DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
|
Laboratory studies help to determine the
cause of jaundice. Abdominal ultrasound of the gall bladder and bile
ducts may reveal enlargement as a result of increased pressure in
the biliary tract due to an obstruction. Other specialized x ray
studies may be ordered to assist in visualizing the affected
structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to help
determine if the bile duct cancer can be surgically removed. A chest
x ray allows detection of tumor nodules that have spread to the
lungs. |
