The IVC is not used as much today as it was. Its use always was limited, because it did not work when there was more than a minimal amount of [[jaundice]], and many of the conditions it was used to detect also caused substantial jaundice. The IVC has been largely replaced by other diagnostic procedures—by ERCP ([[endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography]]), [[endoscopic ultrasound]] and, increasingly, by [[MRI]] cholangiography, none of which are affected by jaundice.It is sometimes used when ERCP is unsuccessful.<ref name="KuntzKuntz2008">{{cite book|author1=Erwin Kuntz|author2=Hans-Dieter Kuntz|title=Hepatology: textbook and atlas : history, morphology, biochemistry, diagnostics, clinic, therapy|url=httphttps://books.google.com/books?id=oL6d9KuVqLQC&pg=PA191|accessdate=3 July 2011|year=2008|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-540-76838-8|pages=191–}}</ref>
