What Does IVC Stand For?
IVC stands for Intravenous Cholangiogram
IVC, or Intravenous Cholangiogram, is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the biliary tree and assess the condition of the bile ducts. During the procedure, a contrast agent is injected intravenously, allowing for enhanced radiographic visualization of any obstructions, stones, or abnormalities in the biliary system. IVC is commonly utilized in the evaluation of liver diseases, gallbladder disorders, and cholestasis, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
