An ultrasound approach to visualize the “duct at the hilum” in infants undergoing evaluation for biliary atresia
We present a systematic approach to visualize the duct at the hilum, which does not require fasting and may efficiently exclude infants who do not have biliary atresia. Future, multisite studies are needed to determine how the approach performs in larger populations and in different healthcare settings.
