Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography: pearls, pitfalls, and pathology.
Seminars in ultrasound CT and MR, 2013Co-Authors: Nyree Griffin, Lee Alexander GrantAbstract:Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography is a method of evaluating the pancreaticobiliary tree through the use of heavily T2-weighted Magnetic Resonance images. Despite being introduced approximately 2 decades ago, it remains the best noninvasive diagnostic tool for this purpose, facilitated by advances in imaging acquisition and technique. The purpose of this review is to describe the protocol at our institution, highlight the pitfalls the reader needs to be aware of when interpreting Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography images, and demonstrate the different pathologies that it can be used to investigate.

Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography: the ABC of MRCP
Insights into Imaging, 2012Co-Authors: Nyree Griffin, Geoff Charles-edwards, Lee Alexander GrantAbstract: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 investigation of many pancreatico-biliary disorders. The purpose of this review is to summarise the key concepts behind MRCP, the different techniques that are currently employed (including functional and secretin-stimulated MRCP), the pitfalls the reader should be aware of, and the main clinical indications for its use.

Role of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in patients with suspected choledocholithiasis.
Mayo Clinic proceedings, 2002Co-Authors: Mari M. Calvo, Luis Bujanda, Ángel Calderón, Iñaki Heras, José Luis Cabriada, Antonio Bernal, Victor Orive, Angel CapelastegiAbstract:Objectives To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in choledocholithiasis and to determine whether use of MRCP may eliminate the need for purely diagnostic endoscopic retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Patients and Methods A total of 116 patients with suspected biliopancreatic pathology were studied prospectively between November 1996 and February 1998. Choledocholithiasis was initially suspected in 61 patients and rated before ERCP and MRCP as being of low, intermediate, or high probability based on clinical, laboratory, and/or imaging findings (Cotton criteria). Results The sensitivity of choledocholithiasis diagnosis was 91%, with a global efficacy of 90%. The level of duct stone obstruction was visualized in all patients. Suprastenotic dilatation also showed a good correlation to ERCP. Choledocholithiasis was found in 32 patients (65%) and 3 patients (33%) in the high- and intermediate- probability groups, respectively. None of the low-probability patients had choledocholithiasis. Endoscopic retrograde Cholangiopancreatography was performed for only a diagnostic (not therapeutic) purpose in 3 patients (6%) and 2 patients (22%) of the high- and intermediate- probability cases, respectively. Conclusions Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography seems to be effective in diagnosing choledocholithiasis. It plays a fundamental role in patients with a low or intermediate risk of choledocholithiasis, contributing to the avoidance of purely diagnostic ERCP.
