Core Tip

Core Tip: DynaCT was used for the first time in patients with hepatolithiasis with biliary stenosis. Compared with computed tomography, DynaCT for biliary reconstruction results in higher-quality, three-dimensional biliary, blood vessel, and liver images. Based on DynaCT biliary model, one-step percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotripsy has the potential to improve the stone clearance rate, shorten the stone clearance time, and reduce the reoperation rate.
