- Differential Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Bile Duct Dilatation - Page 4
Compared with conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), MRCP showed acceptable sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing malignant biliary obstruction from benign causes

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or CT cholangiography may be more accurate, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may be considered, but inevitably, direct cholangiography is the
- Role of Endoscopic Ultrasonography in Diseases - Page 4 - Medscape
In another study by Zidi et al of 70 patients with suspected bile-duct stones, MRCP was compared with ERCP, EUS, and intraoperative cholangiography (97%vs 87%; P < 0 05) Additional
- Pancreatic and Biliary Endoscopy - Page 5 - Medscape
MRCP generates images using heavily T2-weighed pulse sequences The images are very similar to pancreatograms and cholangiograms obtained by ERCP or transhepatic studies
- MRCP Sensitive, Specific for Level and Presence of Biliary . . . - Medscape
Oct 13, 2003 — Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has excellent overall sensitivity and specificity for the level and presence of obstruction, but it is less sensitive in
- Exploring the Etiology of Mild Acute Biliary Pancreatitis - Page 4
The diagnostic yield of EUS-S in recurrent pancreatitis with non-dilated ducts and unknown etiology was 13 6% and 16 7% higher than MRCP-S and ERCP, respectively (although not significant)

In fact, unlike ERCP, MRCP allows for depiction of ducts located proximal to strictures MRCP readily depicts intraductal stones, biliary ductal dilatation, and strictures The major advantages of
- Approach to the Patient With Mild-to-Moderate Acute Pancreatitis?
The patient is a 20-year-old white woman with mild-to-moderate acute pancreatitis, with febrile illness and progressive elevation of peripheral WBC count John Baillie, MD, explores the issues
