Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transhepatic cholangiography is the imaging test that best demonstrates choledocholithiasis, a condition where gallstones are present in the common bile duct. It involves injecting contrast dye into the bile ducts through a needle inserted through the skin into the liver, which can be visualized on X-rays. Barium enema, gastric intubation, upper GI series and gastric endoscopy are not relevant imaging tests for detecting choledocholithiasis.
