magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography

Abbreviation: MRCP
Cholangiopancreatography by magnetic resonance imaging, a noninvasive alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. It is used if biopsies are not needed and direct visualization of the ampulla of Vater is not required.

Since ERCP's inception about 30 years ago, several new diagnostic modalities have been developed, including transab-dominal and endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and intraoperative cholangiography.
