Aims and objectives
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique which is able to substitute the invasive endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in certain cases,
thus as a painless examination it relieves patients concerns.
Our main purpose was to image bile ducts routinely and quickly in order to supplement all liver examinations with this measurement.
Furthermore,
it could be able to make diagnostic imaging sterling without any post-processing technique and does not increase examination time significantly.
This way we do not have to leave out of consideration a part of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct,
which is an anatomically problematic area as fluids in the antrum and duodenum cause disturbances during MR imaging.
