Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) – For evaluation of pancreatico-Biliary diseases

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) using heavily T2 weighted sequences is a non-invasive modality useful for evaluation of pancreatic and biliary system. Purpose of study: Our aim was to study MRCP findings in various pancreatico-biliary diseases. Results: Total 45 patients were studied out of which pancreatic pathologies were present in 14 patients, biliary pathologies were present in 27 patients, and both were present in 4 patients. Inflammatory lesions and calculi were the commonest pathologies both were present in 20 cases each, followed by congenital lesions (n=6), neoplastic lesions (n=4) and stricture in 1 patient. Conclusion: MRCP plays an important role in diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic pathologies.
