A systematic review and economic evaluation of
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography compared with diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a recent MRI technique that allows projectional and cross-sectional imaging of the biliary tract without the use of contrast media.
In case of obstructive jaundice along with ALS,
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography can be helpful.
Caption: FIGURE 1:
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed a slightly dilated common bile duct with a low signal fillingdefect in the distal common bile duct, considering CBD stone, with the filling-defect being represented by a red arrow.
Other diagnostic tests like
Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Intraoperative cholangiogram can be more accurate in the diagnosis of this condition.
Patients with abnormal biologic tests (bilirubin, [gamma]-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, or alanine aminotransferase serum counts) underwent a more extensive liver work-up, which included a drug intake analysis, serologic detection of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections, abdominal ultrasound examination, liver histology, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive technique for direct visualisation of biliary tree and pancreatic duct.

A CT scan or
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography may help to identify the dilated ductal system that is most in need of the stent, he added.
Study enrollees will be evaluated with endoscopic ultrasound and
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The investigators also plan to look for possible tumor markers, including telomerase activity in pancreatic fluid, Dr.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) can be used to demonstrate the "pearl necklace sign," which describes high-signal intensity within the thickened gallbladder wall.
