Correct Answer:
"They are going to examine my gallbladder and ducts."

🔸The contrast allows clear X-ray imaging of these structures to assess for gallstones or bile duct obstruction.
🔸The correct statement reflects understanding of the procedure’s purpose. The other responses confuse the cholangiogram with endoscopy, lithotripsy, or therapeutic interventions.
