This indicates the common bile duct is clear-meaning no strictures or stones occluding it. You should review this test result with the doctor who ordered the test since that doctor knows what they were looking for, given your medical history and symptoms. Best of luck to you!

My brother had a common bile duct obstruction for 25 days that was caused by a gallstone stuck inside it. After Ercp his bile flow was restored. He is now healthy but will those 25 days of obstruction cause scarring in his liver?

My ultrasound reported showed a gallstone in the common bile duct which is causing blockage. I've been told get ERCP soon as it is causing the bile to backup. I did not understand this, backup of bile in the liver or the gallbladder?
