The concepts of biliary tract inflammation are changing. Some previously common entities are now rare. New autoimmune conditions are being recognized, and imaging has continued to advance, resulting in better and in many areas less-invasive techniques for examination of the biliary tract.
Radiologists should be aware of the etiologic factors of biliary tract inflammation being proposed. They should also understand new approaches to imaging of the biliary tract.
胆道炎症的概念正在发生变化。一些以前常见的病症现在已很罕见。新的自身免疫性疾病不断被认识,并且影像学持续发展,产生了更好且在许多方面侵入性更小的胆道检查技术。
放射科医生应了解所提出的胆道炎症的病因。他们还应理解胆道成像的新方法。
