The cystic duct can be depicted with a variety of imaging modalities but is optimally
visualized with direct cholangiography or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography …

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 …

PURPOSE: To determine prospectively the clinical applications and diagnostic accuracy of

Fig. 1.—Normal biliary anatomy. Drawing shows normal hepatic biliary segmental anatomy,
as described by Couinaud [1], and normal fusion of cystic duct with common hepatic duct …

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is used for noninvasive work-up of
patients with pancreaticobiliary disease. MRCP is comparable with invasive endoscopic …

Objectives: Pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is an unusual complication of chronic
pancreatitis. Its diagnosis is obscured by predominance of pulmonary symptoms. A review of …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is finding an ever-growing role in the evaluation of a
wide range of conditions in the abdomen. No longer confined to problem solving regarding …

Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) results most commonly from alcohol abuse or gallstone
disease. Initial evaluation fails to detect the cause of ARP in 10–30% of patients, and as a …

In order to compare the performance of “all‐in‐one” magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
“all‐in‐one” multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the preharvest evaluation 25 …

Background. Anatomical variations of cystic duct (CD) are frequently unrecognized. It is
important to be aware of these variations prior to any surgical, percutaneous, or endoscopic …
