Choledocholithiasis: evaluation with MR cholangiography.

Periampullary localized pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia-3 (PanIN-3): evaluation with contrast-enhanced MR cholangiography (MRCP)

BACKGROUND The early determination of premalignant lesions of pancreas can prevent unnecessary excessive surgical procedures and can reduce morbidity and mortality. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia-3 (PanIN-3) is a preinvasive form of adenocarcinoma (carcinoma in situ). PanINs have not taken place in the literature of radiology yet, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of pancr...

Ischemic-type biliary lesions following liver transplantation: Evaluation with Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR cholangiography

Role of MR Cholangiography in Evaluation of Hepatic Biliary Morphology in Living Liver Donors

Purpose: To assess the utility of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in preoperative mapping of biliary anatomy in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation LDLT). Materials and Methods: Fifty LDLT donors (39 males and 11 females) their age 20-37 years (mean age 20.8 years) referred from liver transplantation surgeons to radiology Departments at Dar Al Fouad Hospital for...

Biliary Ascariasis: MR Cholangiography Findings in Two Cases

We describe the imaging features of two cases of biliary ascariasis. Ultrasonography and CT showed no specific abnormal findings, but MR cholangiography clearly demonstrated an intraductal linear filling defect that led to the correct diagnosis. MR cholangiography is thus a useful technique for the diagnosis of biliary ascariasis.

Mn-DPDP Enhanced T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography: Usefulness in the Diagnosis and Roadmap for the Treatment of Intrahepatic Choledocholithiasis

cholangiography is a noninvasive modality that has been proven accurate in the diagnosis of bile duct obstruction and choledocholithiasis (1, 2). Previous reports concerning the usefulness of MR cholangiography for the assessment of intrahepatic choledocholithiasis have focused on the presence of intrahepatic ductal dilatation, stricture, and calculi (3, 4). However, heavily T2weighted MR chola...
