Radiological investigation of billiary tact 01Kajal Jha
The name biliary tract is used to refer to all of the ducts, structures and organs involved in the production, storage and secretion of bile.
Bile canaliculi >> Canals of Hering >> intrahepatic bile ductule (in portal tracts / triads) >> interlobular bile ducts >> left and right hepatic ducts >>
These merge to form the common hepatic duct
This exits the liver and joins with the cystic duct from gall bladder
Together these form the common bile duct which joins the pancreatic duct
These pass through the ampulla of Vater and enter the duodenum
Laparoscopic Urologic surgery, is a part of the curriculum of Minimal Access Surgery, and requires lot of skills and patience. All new surgeons carrying out Basic Laparoscopic surgery should aim at also doing Lap. Urological surgeries, which has a steep learning curve, but with with excellent outcomes.
Every upcoming surgeon practising minimal access surgery should know the basics of urology , so that he or she can put his or her,s capabilities as a surgeon

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Investigation of Biliary Tract
1. Hepato Billary system I
• Presenter
• Sujan poudel
• BSC MIT 2015
• MODERATOR
• Mr. Ranjit kumar Jha
• Assistant professor
BPKIHS
2. Modalities
• USG
• Conventional x ray/ Fluroscopy
• MRI
• ERCP
• Nuclear medicine 99Tc- labelled N-substituted iminodiacetic acid, e.g.'9
Tc-HIDA, as the agents to study the action of the biliary tree.
3. General terms used for billiary system
• Cholegraphy is general term for radiographic
study of billiary system
• Cholecystography is radiographic investigation
of gall bladder
• Cholangiography is radiographic study of
billiary ducts.
4. Prefixs associatd with billiary system
Root forms MEANING
chole- Relationship with bile
Cysto- Bag or sac
Choledocho- CBD
Cholangio- Bile ducts
5. Anatomy
• Bile drains from the ductular and canalicular network of the acini.
• These ducts run with branches of the portal vein and hepatic artery
in the portal triad. The smallest interlobular ducts join to form
septal bile ducts, and these finally unite to form the left and right
hepatic ducts
• The left hepatic duct drains the three segments 2, 3 and 4 of the
left liver,
• Right hepatic duct arises from the union of two main sectorial
ducts:
• An anterior division draining segments 5 and 8 and a posterior
division draining 6 and 7
• The right and left main hepatic ducts fuse at the hilum, anterior to
the bifurcation of the portal vein, to form the common hepatic duct,
6. • The main bile duct is
divided into two segments:
the common hepatic duct
and common bile duct,
divided by the cystic duct
The common bile duct
passes inferiorly posterior
to the first part of the
duodenum and pancreatic
head. In the majority it then
forms a short common
channel with the main
pancreatic duct within the
wall of the duodenum,
termed the ampulla of Vater
7. Preference of modalities for
investigations
• Initial evaluation for acute billiary disease should
be done with ultrasound .
• Sensitivity ultrasound 83% CT 39%
• Ultrasound has sensitivity of 95% for detecting
ductal dilation where as poor in detecting
choledocholithiasis
• Identification of choledocholithiasis should be
correlated clinically and ERCP for stone removal.
• ERCP and MRCP remain referance standard for
definative diagnosis of billiary disease.
8. CT cholangiography
• Done through biliary
injection of contrast agent
through a percutaneous
catheter or by ERCP.
• Higher sensitivity.
Indirect contrast installation
• iodipamide meglumine is
infused IV over a 30-minute
period, supplemented with
IV hyoscine just before
imaging, to relax the
sphincter of Oddi
Direct contrast installation
9. continue
Advantages
• Less prone to artefacts than
MRCP.
• More readily avilable.
uses
• CT cholangiography can also
be performed without
contrast agent
administration by using
minimum intensity
projection (MinIP) where
bile act as negative contrast
within biliary lumen.
10. Drip infusion cholangiography with CT
• CT data acquisition 30–60 min after drip
infusion of iotroxate meglumine (Biliscopin)
• It assists in visualisation of the biliary tree by
biliary excretion of the contrast medium
without structural modification.
11. MRCP
• Uses heavily T2-weighted sequences, the signal of static or slow-
moving fluid-filled structures such as the bile and pancreatic ducts is
greatly increased, resulting in increased duct-to-background
contrast.
• MRCP is performed with heavily T2-weighted sequences by using
fast spin-echo or single-shot fast spin-echo software and both a
thick-collimation (single-section) and thin-collimation
(multisection) technique with a torso phased-array coil.
• The coronal plane is used to provide a cholangiographic display, and
the axial plane is used to evaluate the pancreatic duct and distal
common bile duct.
• Fast spin-echo MRCP is performed by using respiratory gating; a
long echo train (ie, 32); a long repetition time (three to five
respiratory cycles, 8,000–10,000 msec); an echo time greater than
250 msec; fat saturation; thin collimation (3 mm with no gap); and
three excitations. Imaging time is usually 4–6 minutes.
12. Planes for assessment

Coronal oblique through tail of pancreas
Straight coronal with subsequent sections
obtained 15 degree apart
common hepatic duct, left hepatic ducts,
and proximal pancreatic duct
LPO common bile duct, right hepatic ducts,
distal pancreatic duct including the
ampulla.
13. Advantages and disadvantages over
ERCP
Advantages
• noninvasive;
• uses no radiation;
• requires no anesthesia;
• Is less operator dependent;
• allows better visualization of
ducts proximal to an obstruction;
• when combined with
conventional T1- and T2-weighted
sequences, allows detection of
extraductal disease.
Disadvantages
• a) decreased spatial resolution,
making MRCP less sensitive to
abnormalities of the peripheral
intrahepatic ducts (eg, sclerosing
cholangitis) and pancreatic ductal
side branches (eg, chronic
pancreatitis)
• (b) imaging in the physiologic,
nondistended state, which
decreases the sensitivity to subtle
ductal abnormalities.
14. Secretin enhanced MRCP
• To evaluate exocrine function by observing the
T2 bright fluid secreted by the pancreas in
response to stimulation of pancreatic exocrine
function by IV secretin.
• Dynamic study of pancreatic duct can be done.
• Uses secretin to stimulates pancreatic duct
epithelial cells to produce a bicarbonate-rich
fluid.
• Three forms of secretin are available i.e. biologic,
porcine, synthetic human secretin.
15. Protocol for secretin MRCP
• Elimination of preexisting T2 bright of gastric and
duodenal fluid signal is done by superparamagnetic
iron oxide containing MR contrast agent ( ferumoxsil)
• Administered as two bottles 300mL each 30 min and
just before examination to shorten T2 times as it gets
mixed with gastric and duodenal fluid
• So T2 bright pancreatic fluid secreted by pancreas in
response to secretin can be easily identified on dark
background
• As an alternative various natural negative contrast can
be used like blueberry juice, pineapple juice due to
their high manganese content.

21. T tube cholangiography
• T-tube cholangiograms are a fluoroscopic study
performed in the setting of hepatobiliary
disease.
• Typically a T-shaped tube is left in the common
bile duct at the time of surgery (e.g.
cholecystectomy) and allows for exploration of
the common bile duct (choledochotomy) and
retrieval of common bile duct stones.
• At a later date (usually approximately 10 days),
imaging of the biliary tree (cholangiogram) is
performed via the tube.
22.
23. Technique
• Patient lies supine on x-ray
table.
• Drainage tube clamped off
near to the patient and clean
thoroughly with antiseptics.
• 23-G needle, extension tubing
and 20ml syringe are
assembled and filled with
contrast medium, needle is
inserted into tubing between
patient and clamp.
Requirements
• HOCM or LOCM 150 mg I/ml
20-30 ml
• Fluoroscopy unit with spot film
device.
24. Filming
• If the intrahepatic ducts do not fill, the patient
can be tilted trendelenburg and further contrast
injected into the T-tube.
• The patient may need to lie on their left hand
side to fill the left hepatic duct.
• At least 2 views of the entire biliary tree
should be recorded by spot film (DSI)
• oblique views are often taken
25. • The T-tube is made of very flexible plastic. T-tubes
are usually sized between 10 French (10F) and 16
French (16F).
Complications
• biliary peritonitis
• cholangitis
