Conclusion The SS-FSE sequence is performed faster and significantly improves image quality; thus, it should be included into the routine \\{MRCP\\} sequence protocol at 3.0 T. Furthermore, we recommended SS-FSE \\{BH\\} \\{MRCP\\} examination to be applied to uncooperative patients or ...
MR cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) is an exiting new application of MR imaging that combines the advantages of projectional and cross-sectional imaging techniques. The technique is capable of depicting the pancreatic-bile duct. That requires neither the use contrast agent nor any biliary intervention ...
With an ERCP, a doctor has to insert an endoscope through your mouth to do the test. An MRCP isn't invasive; there is no endoscope. Instead, a radiation technologist injects a special dye, a contrast agent, into your vein by an intravenous (IV) method. This dye circulates through ...
Currently available technologies include transabdominal ultrasonography (US), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), magnetic resonance imaging with cholangiopancreatography (MRI, MRCP) and helical (or spiral) computed...
Contrast enhanced MR and MRCP showed that the intrahepatic bile duct was slightly dilated, common bile duct was dilated, and inflammation of lower segment of common bile duct was possible Full size image In order to identify the nature of pancreatic lesions, further thin-slice enhanced CT and 18...
One paper studying “Pancreatic abnormalities in the High-Risk Group and the control group on 3 T MRI with MRCP” involved a small group with no pathological evidence. Their results highlight a “mass type lesion” subgroup including nodules (small lesions, two non-operated, on an accessory sp...
Background and AimsPancreatic duct guidewire placement (P-GW) techniques include both the injection cannulation technique with a contrast medium and wire-guided cannulation without contrast injection for selective biliary cannulation; the latter is the so-called "double-guidewire technique" (D-GW). The...
After controlling for multiple covariates including LVEF, age, diabetes, number of vessels diseased, diuretics, digoxin, contrast used, renal failure, and prior MI, anemia (Hb >12 vs. Hb ≤12) was still a significant predictor of mortality (Table 3). Discussion The main finding of the ...
This is basically related to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) that led to "incidental" diagnosis of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (including IPMNs) in a large number of asymptomatic ...
Rheumatoid nodules are chronic in untreated patients and may continue to enlarge. In treated patients, the lesions slowly resolve with management of the rheumatoid arthritis.
