An ERCP is an endoscopic technique that allows for visualization of the bile and pancreatic ducts. During this procedure, a special side-viewing endoscope is inserted into the duodenum.
This endoscope, called a duodenoscope, is specially designed to ease placement of endoscopic accessories into the bile and pancreatic ducts. Your doctor will also inject a dye into the ducts to obtain detailed X-ray images.
ERCP is a sensitive and specific diagnostic test for acute pancreatitis. It shows details of your pancreatic anatomy, including any strictures (narrowed areas), ruptures and cysts.
