You should not have any side effects from the MRCP scan itself. However, if you got contrast dye during the scan, you will be given instructions about what to do to help clear it out of your body. This usually involves drinking plenty of fluids for the rest of the day.6 After the sc...
This contrast agent helps to highlight the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts, making them more visible on the MRI images. The patient will need to lie down on a table that slides into the MRI machine. The machine uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create the images. During ...
MRCP scan is entirely non-invasive and does not use ionising radiation. Healthcare professionals use the test to diagnose certain medical conditions. What is the contrast material? The contrast material is the liquid that a radiologist gives to the patient to increase the visibility of the organ ...
At present the UK does not have a national medical licensing examination, in contrast to the situation in the USA [1], and the GMC has implied that differences in medical school performance would be a strong argument for the benefits of introducing such an examination. The more recent Tooke ...
By contrast, aptitude/ability tests, such as the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) in the UK, emphasize 'intellectual capabilities for thinking and reasoning, particularly logical and analytical reasoning abilities’ [10]. They are felt to be measures of ...
Type II patients had pain and enzyme elevations or a dilated CBD, but not both. Type III patients had a pain syndrome alone. (The original classification included delayed drainage of contrast from the bile duct after ERCP as an addition criterion. Most investigators have dropped this from the ...
A useful practical point to note is that the SEM in that sense is the same whether or not the candidate is of high, average or low ability, and there is no need to take regression to the mean into account, in contrast to the situation with SEE. The smaller the SEM, the more ...
Average mark of candidates at each attempt separately for those who pass or fail. Full size image Figures 2, 3 and 4 do not show longitudinal results of individual candidates. In contrast, Figure 5 shows the marks of candidates at their second attempt, in relation to their performance at the...
