Selective use of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in clinical practice may miss choledocholithiasis in gallstone pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND Gallstone pancreatitis is a consequence of ampullary obstruction by common bile duct (CBD) calculi. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has been advocated for routine use to diagnose choledocholithiasis. However, the selective use of MRCP in clinically equivocal situations has not been explored until now. This study examines the diagnostic value of selective MRCP in ga...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Clinical Practice
The first mention of magnetic properties is in Ancient Greek texts dated circa 1000 BCE. The shepherd Magnes noticed that his shoes and the tip of staff stuck fast in a magnetic field while he tended his flocks. He called the material, which subsequently became known as a magnetic oxide of iron (Fe3O4), magnetite . This phenomena was well known enough by 600 BCE that the first of the ancient Gr...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: the ABC of MRCP
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a technique that has evolved over the past two decades. It continues to have a fundamental role in the non-invasive investigation of many pancreatico-biliary disorders. The purpose of this review is to summarise the key concepts behind MRCP, the different techniques that are currently employed (including functional and secretin-stimulated MR...
متن کاملPancreas divisum: magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography findings.
Pancreas divisum is a common congenital abnormality of the pancreas that results from the lack of fusion between the dorsal and ventral pancreatic ducts during foetal development. In these cases, the dorsal duct becomes the main pancreatic duct and drains most of the pancreas. Pancreas divisum is mainly asymptomatic, but the prevalence of pancreas divisum is higher in patients with chronic abdo...
