Can Xray Detect Pancreas And Bile Duct Narrowing?
I have been having severto moderate rt upper abdominal pain for about a month now. The tests results say that my liver enzymes and pancreatis are normal. I have had pancreatitis 2 times in the past. I want to know if by x-ray if it can show if the pancreatic & bile ducts are narrowing or if that would show up? the dr. wants to put a balloon through the bile duct to see if that will help me.

Dear Sir,
You need to get a CT scan done to see the narrowing of pancreatic duct and its calcification.
