Digital X-Ray of P. T. C. Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of P. T. C.?

A Digital X-ray of the P.T.C. (Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to evaluate the bile ducts, primarily for identifying blockages, stones, or other abnormalities.

During this procedure, a contrast dye is injected directly into the bile ducts through the skin, typically under local anesthesia. X-rays are then taken to capture detailed images of the bile ducts, liver, and surrounding areas.

This procedure is usually performed when non-invasive imaging, such as an ultrasound, is insufficient. It helps guide treatment for conditions like bile duct obstructions, cholangitis, or tumors.

Results are analyzed by a radiologist to plan further treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

Digital X-Ray of P. T. C. is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Digital X-Ray of P. T. C. result rather than self-diagnosing.
