Abstract

In this present study 38 patients were examined with obstructive jaundice using Ultrasound and MRCP. “The patients taken for present study were suffering from various disease of the biliary tree or the pancreas. The efficiency of MRCP as an imaging modality of choice in comparison with Ultrasound has been examined.” MRCP displays the entire biliary tract and pancreatic duct without any Intervention or use of oral or IV contrast. “The qualities of images acquired are comparable with those of direct cholangiography procedure like ERCP, which is considered as standard of reference in ductal pathologies. The diagnostic accuracy of MRCP gives it strong potential to replace the more invasive procedures like diagnostic ERCP, which should be used only in cases where intervention is being contemplated.” It has shown to have high accuracy in showing bile duct dilatation, stricture and calculi. “In patients with malignant stricture or obstruction of biliaryenteric anastomosis, this noninvasive imaging technique demonstrates the site and extent of the stenosis, the degree of proximal dilatation, the presence and size of biliary stones, and associated findings.”
