Abstract

The imaging modalities commonly used are Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). “Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography (PTC) is used for drainage procedures. A relatively new MR imaging technique that has revolutionized the biliary and pancreatic duct imaging and has emerged as an accurate, noninvasive means of visualization of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct without radiation & injection of contrast material is MRCP.”
The patients taken for present study were suffering from various disease of the biliary tree or the pancreas. “We have examined the efficiency of MRCP as a imaging modality of choice in comparison with Ultrasound.”
