The role of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in evaluation of etiological spectrum of obstructive jaundice

Jaundice is a commonly encountered problem in society. Discrimination between obstructive and non-obstructive causes important to imply surgical intervention cases of jaundice whereas medical management jaundice. Nowadays diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be replaced by Magnetic resonance (MRCP) as it has high level resolution reliability. We studied the role MRCP evaluate its etiological spectrums radiological findings. To determination aetiologies jaundice, assess degree biliary obstruction correlate findings with post follow-ups / ERCP/ histopathology. Total sixty-eight patients clinical diagnosis referred for were included our study. correlated final made post-surgical follow-up histopathology gold standard. For benign lesions, overall sensitivity was 97.73%, specificity 95.83% an accuracy 97.06%. had 94.74% sensitivity, 93.88% specificity, 94.12% choledocholithiasis, 66.67% 98.39% 95.59% strictures. malignant accuracy, 97.06%, 95.83%, 97.73%. highly reliable, accurate, non-invasive imaging technique evaluation
