What is biliary dilatation?

Also known as: biliary dilation, bile duct dilatation.

Bile is a substance that helps with digestion, and it travels from the gallbladder to the intestines to help in this process via the bile ducts. If the bile ducts are too narrow, they can be opened up through a process known as biliary dilatation.
