The conventional TFE technique has demonstrated good feasibility for cMRA at 3T. In its operational availability at 3T, the b-TFE sequence is inferior to the TFE sequence.

MRCP can diagnose PSC but has difficulties in early PSC and in cirrhosis, and in the differentiation of cholangiocarcinoma, Caroli's disease, and secondary sclerosing cholangitis. A positive MRCP would negate some diagnostic ERCP studies but a negative MRCP would not obviate the need for ERCP.
