Background Biliary obstruction leads to an increase in biliary pressure within the biliary
system, which induces the morphologic adaptation of the biliary tree. Purpose To observe …

Bile infarct is a pivotal characteristic of obstructive biliary disease, but its evolution during the
disease progression remains unclear. Our objective, therefore, is to explore morphological …

X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) can provide excellent image contrast
for soft tissues with small density differences, and it is particularly appropriate for three …

Objectives To investigate microvascular alterations in the Glisson system of biliary atresia
(BA) patients after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP) using three-dimensional (3D) virtual …

In rodents, complete bile duct ligation (cBDL) of the common bile duct is an established
surgical technique for studying obstructive cholestasis and bile duct proliferation. However …

X-ray phase-contrast imaging (PCI) can substantially enhance contrast and is particularly
useful in differentiating biological soft tissues with small density differences. Combined with …

Cholestasis is a common complication in liver diseases that triggers a proliferative response
of the biliary tree. Bile duct ligation (BDL) is a frequently used model of cholestasis in …

Biliary obstruction in man, most often caused by cholelithiasis, induces remodelling of the
bile ducts. Obstruction‐induced structural remodelling of the common bile duct (CBD) has …

The aim of this study was to evaluate 64-slice spiral CT image reconstruction of the portal
vein in biliary obstruction. A total of 34 clinical patients with biliary obstruction were …

In 36 male Wistar rats extrahepatic cholestasis was induced by ligation and transsection of
the common bile duct. After 1, 2 and 3 weeks of cholestasis the bile flow was restored by …
