A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY AND ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY

Comparitive Study of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Biliary And Pancreatic Duct Abnormalities

Aim And Objectives: To recognize the normal appearence of bile duct & pancreatic duct and its variants by MRCP.To compare the accuracy of MRCP as a diagnostic tool in our institution with ERCP in the diagnosis of bile and pancreatic duct diseases, using specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values. Materials And Methods: Source of data :Patients from Departments of General ...

Cysto-biliary rupture in hepatic hydatid disease: magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography findings.

Fig. 2 Conflict interest statement The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest to the publication of this article. Hepatic hydatid disease (HHD) is a unique parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world [1]. Biliary rupture is one of the most common complications of HHD, which leads to small to large cysto-biliary communications (CBC) [1, 2]. CBC can cause cholangi...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: Summary

Diseases of the pancreas and biliary tree are common in the United States. An estimated 6 per 100,000 people are afflicted with common bile duct stones, representing only a small fraction of those with gallstones. There are approximately 57,400 newly diagnosed cases of malignancy of the pancreas, gallbladder, or extrahepatic biliary tract each year, and the prognosis is usually poor. Pancreatit...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (E.R.C.P.).

Difficult endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

JB Most endoscopists who are asked this question would immediately think of anatomic problems that limit or prevent access to the main duodenal papilla for cannulation, such as prior upper gastrointestinal surgery (eg, Billroth II gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y biliary diversion, or gastric bypass procedures) or gastric outlet obstruction (Figure 1). However, the difficulty of an endoscopic retrograde ...
