Abstract:The usefulness of a highly targeted pencil beam (PB) label was compared with the commonly used slab label for direct visualization of pancreaticobiliary reflux using the time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (time-SLIP) technique.

Next, sixty-eight patients were classified into two groups according to the angle of the pancreaticob… Show more
