| Abstract | Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a noninvasive method for work-up inpatients with pancreatobiliary disease. MRCP is comparable with invasive endoscopic retrogradecholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis of biliary tract and pancreatic diseases such ascholedocholithesis, causes of biliary tract obstruction, anatomical variant (such as pancreatic divisum),pancreatic carcinoma, complication of chronic pancreatitis and post surgical biliary tract alteration. From authorexperience, the 3 most common indications for MRCP study in 94 patients with hepatobiliary tract disease are 1)abdominal pain, jaundice and suspect biliary tract obstruction (60 patients) 2) recurrent abdominal pain and/orjaundice after cholecystectomy (12 patients) and 3) suspect recurrent cholangiocarcinoma after surgery(7 patients). |
