Hepatobiliary MRI

MRI with hepatobiliary contrast

Hepatobiliary contrast agents currently are essentially gadolinium based agents (Gd-EOB-DTPA and GdBOPTA) with dual ability to perform dynamic contrast enhanced imaging similar to extracellular gadolinium contrast as well as providing hepatobiliary uptake and excretion in later phases. Hepatobiliary uptake and excretion with gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is related to OATP and cMOAT and MRP2 rec...

Sonography, CT and MRI findings in hepatobiliary fascioliasis

Ultrasound and MRI evaluation of hepatobiliary tumors with histopathological correlation

Introduction: Ultrasound is the first modality of choice for the diagnosis of Hepato-biliary diseases. Color Doppler is used to assess the vascularity of the Hepatobilliarytumour. Ultrasound is also used as a guide to FNAC of the Hepatobiliary tumours. Indications for the MRI of Hepato-biliary system include: (i) Characterization of lesion intensity. (ii) Determination of the extent and segment...

Hepatobiliary tuberculosis.

Hepatobiliary tuberculosis refers to the localized form of hepatic tuberculosis and is a distinct entity in which hepatobiliary involvement overwhelmingly dominates the clinical picture. Presentations are often delayed, and manifestations can be nonspecific. Fever is the most common symptom followed by abdominal pain, and hepatomegaly is the most common abnormality found on clinical examination...

Hepatobiliary Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is an ancient parasitic disease that has afflicted Egyptians since the time of the pharaohs. The disease is caused by lodged schistosome eggs in the host liver, evoking an immune response and leading in some patients to the development of hepatic granuloma and fibrosis. Here, we review the epidemiology, immunopathogenesis, and clinical profile of schistosomiasis. This informatio...
