Figure 1

Contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (microCT) image of mdr2 knockout (mdr2KO) mouse. (a) Intraperitoneal contrast-enhanced axial image demonstrating a normal-appearing gallbladder and common bile duct; intrahepatic ducts are not visualized. Hyperdense gastric contents are present and cause streak artifact. (b) Intravenous contrast-enhanced coronal image demonstrating normal-appearing gallbladder and dilated hilar ducts; intrahepatic ducts are again not visualized despite addition of 6 h fasting.
