An ERCP involves inserting an endoscope through the mouth and stomach into the duodenum, then inserting a thin tube through the endoscope into the biliary tract to inject radiopaque dye and take x-rays of the biliary tract and pancreatic duct. ERCPs are used diagnostically to detect conditions like gallstones and cancer, and therapeutically to remove stones or lesions or repair narrowings of the biliary ducts. Patients must not eat or drink for 8-10 hours before the procedure, which uses an endoscope, oral anesthetic, contrast media, films, and may use a C-arm to take preliminary, procedure, and post-procedure images centered at the iliac crest on
MRCP is an MRI exam of the biliary system and pancreas that is typically performed without contrast. It includes 3D cholangiographic post processing techniques like MIPs. Proper documentation of the 3D imaging is required to bill additional codes for those images separately from the abdominal MRI code. Specifically, noting that 3D images were obtained on a separate workstation or during the exam supports billing an additional 3D rendering code. Without documentation of the 3D techniques used, only the abdominal MRI code can be billed.
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) is an endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and treat issues in the bile and pancreatic ducts. It involves positioning an endoscope and using x-rays to view the ducts while performing procedures like draining bile ducts, removing gallstones, and placing stents. Potential complications include pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, or perforation. Careful pre- and post-procedure steps like monitoring and antibiotics are important to minimize risks.
ERCP is an endoscopic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat issues in the duodenum, bile ducts, pancreatic duct, and gallbladder. During ERCP, an endoscope is inserted and a catheter is used to inject radiocontrast dye to identify any blockages. If needed, a wire can enlarge the opening to the bile duct to remove gallstones or perform other procedures like stent placement. Potential but rare complications include infection, pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation of the GI tract. ERCP requires an experienced physician due to its risks.

This document discusses imaging techniques for evaluating the biliary system. It covers common bile duct stones and Mirizzi's syndrome, which involves compression of the common bile duct by gallstones. It also mentions biliary cystadenoma, a type of cyst forming in the bile ducts or gallbladder.
