ERCP is a way to examine your pancreas, pancreatic duct,
common bile duct, and/or sphincter of Oddi. Your doctor
uses a long narrow tube called an endoscope to look at these
parts of your body and he or she may use contrast dye and x-
rays to highlight them. Your doctor may also use ERCP to
try to remove any stones or blockages he or she may find.
