Increasing use of diagnostic and interventional radiology as well as therapeutic endoscopy has made it essential for a wide variety of physicians to become familiar with the anatomy of the extrahepatic biliary tract. Although gallbladder contractility is primarily mediated by cholecystokinin (CCK), ...

Goals for MR imaging evaluation of the biliary tract include anatomic assessment for congenital anomalies, stones, strictures, inflammation, and evaluation of obstruction. Additionally, in a transplant patient, assessment of vascular anatomy and possible vascular complications, or infectious processes that ...

The biliary tract is supplied with arterial blood by a vasculature called the peribiliary vascular plexus. Any injury to the peribiliary vascular plexus may contribute to ischemic death of the biliary system mucosa. At many points, the process of liver transplantation exposes the endothelial cells ...
MRCP using the single-shot fast spin echo technique (RARE, HASTE, FASE, SSFSE) allows routine visualization of the normal biliary tract, including the first to third level branches of the intrahepatic bile duct, left and right hepatic ducts, and the common hepatic and common bile duct [1, ...
