ERCP (Diagnostic) is primarily used to investigate disorders involving the bile and pancreatic ducts when detailed duct imaging is clinically necessary. Before the procedure, doctors review the patient's symptoms, laboratory findings, and previous imaging to determine whether ERCP is appropriate. During the examination, contrast is injected into the ducts through the endoscope and X-ray images are obtained. Although it can provide valuable diagnostic information, ERCP is invasive and may cause complications such as pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, or perforation, so careful patient selection is important.
