Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a common malignant tumor of the biliary tree. It has poor
prognosis with very low 5-year survival rates. Various imaging modalities are available for …

The primary aim was to evaluate delayed contrast-enhanced MRI in depicting perineural
spread of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) and consequently to determine the capability of …

The accurate diagnosis of extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma is difficult, even now. When
ultrasonography (US) shows dilatation of the bile duct, magnetic resonance …

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 1.0-M gadobutrol-enhanced, 3-
dimensional (3D), dynamic MR images with 3D-MR cholangiography (MRC) in the …

Purpose To assess the diagnostic accuracy of gadoxetic acid‐enhanced biliary MRI with MR
cholangiography (MRC) in the preoperative evaluation of bile duct cancer (BDC) staging …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been accepted as a major noninvasive diagnostic
modality for investigating the bile ducts. MR imaging with MR cholangiopancreatography …

The development of multidetector-row computed tomography has provided a number of
advantages for the evaluation of biliary malignancies. Because of its fast-scanning ability …
