Hello,

I understand your concern. Your mother's CA 19-9 levels are way above the normal. "Prominent central intrahepatic biliary radicles" means a blockage in the canals within the liver cells that produce bile for the digestion of fat.
I'm sorry to say this is not the ideal results you want to see on CECT. Your mother's doctor will be able to inform you in more detail.
Wishing you all the best
