Core Tip	The real-time virtual sonography (RVS) system combined with ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) compensates for each of the deficiencies of US and CT. The visualization in biliary and pancreatic diseases using RVS added objectivity and detailed imaging for diagnosis lacking in conventional B-mode US and CT, and it becomes possible to make a more precise diagnosis. Moreover, it is possible to consider this system as providing images of detailed processes conveniently and in real time. RVS has potential usefulness in objective visualization and diagnosis in the field of biliary and pancreatic diseases.
