Eric J Heffernan et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2009 Jan.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to familiarize the reader with the sonographic, CT, MR cholangiopancreatography, and ERCP appearances of recurrent pyogenic cholangitis and to briefly review the role of interventional radiology in the management of this disease.
