چکیده

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to describe the technique and utility of functional MR cholangiography (fMRC) in the evaluation of the gallbladder and biliary tree. CONCLUSION FMRC has the potential to provide a comprehensive examination for the anatomic and functional assessment of the gallbladder and biliary tree. Complex anatomic abnormalities and functional disorders can be shown by fMRC, including biliary obstruction and extravasation.

Ultrasonographic Triangular Cord Sign and Gallbladder Abnormality in Diagnosis of Biliary Atresia

Introduction: Early diagnosis of biliary atresia is very important for better outcome of treatment. Ultrasonography is one of the diagnostic tools for early differentiation of  biliary atresia from other causes of neonatal cholestasis. It has been reported that triangular cord sign  (TACS) in sonography is a reliable sign for diagnosis of biliary atresia. The aim of this study was to re-assess ...

[New possibilities to study biliary tree and gallbladder: functional magnetic resonance cholangiography contrast-enhanced with mangafodipir trisodium (Mn DPDP)].

Mangafodipir trisodium (Teslascan) is a hepatobiliary contrast agent that provides noninvasive opacification of the bile ducts. Using this contrast medium combined with a T1-weighted gradient echo enhanced sequence provides functional imaging of the bile ducts. Second-intention MRI was obtained after the usual morphological study of the bile ducts using heavily T2-weighted sequences (SS-FSE Te ...

Accumulation of Bile in the Gallbladder: Evaluation by means of Serial Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography with Gadolinium Ethoxybenzyl Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid

The aim of this study was to evaluate the process of biliary excretion of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) into the biliary tract and to assess the accumulation patterns in the gallbladder using MR cholangiography obtained with Gd-EOB-DTPA which is a liver-specific hepatobiliary contrast agent. Seventy-five patients underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR imagi...
