Explanation

An intraoperative cholangiogram is a special type of X-ray taken during surgery. It is used to get a clear picture of the bile ducts, which are small tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. This helps the surgeon to see any blockages or other problems in these ducts. The procedure involves injecting a dye into the bile ducts, which then shows up on the X-ray.
