“…MRCP is a safe and noninvasive technique used to evaluate the pancreaticobiliary system [1][2][3]11] . It allows obtaining images of the pancreaticobiliary similar to the endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERCP) without the morbidity associated with the complications resulting from diagnostic ERCP [12][13][14] .…”

“…Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a safe and noninvasive technique used to evaluate the pancreaticobiliary system [1][2][3] . With the use of thin-section singleshot fast-spin echo sequences and thick-section heavily T2-weighted sequences, MRCP can demonstrate the anatomy of the biliary tract, pancreatic duct (PD) and gallbladder, since the fluid within them serves as an intrinsic contrast medium [4] .…”

AIM:To evaluate the effects of using CO2 as negative contrast agent in decreasing the overlapping on the pancreaticobiliary system from intestinal fluids. METHODS:We evaluated the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) images in 117 patients divided into two groups (group 1, without taking gas producing crystals to produce CO2, n = 64; group 2, with CO2, n = 53) in a 1.5T unit using MRCP sequence.Anatomic locations of intestinal fluids distribution, overlapping with common bile duct (CBD) and pancreatic duct (PD), were evaluated. RESULTS:In the group with CO2, the decrease in distribution of intestinal fluids was significant in the gastric antrum (P = 0.001) and duodenal bulb (P < 0.001), but not in the gastric fundus and body and in the second portion of the duodenum (P = 1.000, P = 0.171, and P = 0.584 respectively). In the group with CO2, the decrease in overlapping with CBD was significant (P < 0.001), but the decrease in overlapping with PD was not (P = 0.106).CONCLUSION: MRCP with carbon dioxide as negative contrast agent would decrease intestinal fluids in the gastric antrum and duodenal bulb, thereby decreasing overlapping with the CBD.

“…As to the absence of first ductules, it is important for clinical practice for two reasons: the first as a sign of fibro-obliterative deseases [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and the second considering minimum detectable duct caliber in imaging radiologic researches [27][28][29]. From LDLT point of view it is important in evaluation of age and functional-size-mass related liver parenchyma changes for donors and recipients.…”

Aim: Besides the most frequent-modal type of confluent patterns intrahepatic biliary ducts, there are cases with aberrant type of confluence. The aim of this report is to present a case with aberrant confluence of intrahepatic biliary ducts. Material and Methods:Injection-corrosive method was used to obtain acrylic cast from biliary and portal systems of one human liver. Biliary ducts were followed parallel to the adjoint portal ramification from the initial part of segmental ductules.

“…On the other hand, the following advantages have been realized with the recent development of single shot fast spin echo and other fast pulse systems: images can be obtained by short breaths, the influence of artifacts generated by movement can be reduced, and the spatial resolution capacity and signal to noise ratio are increased [9]. In addition, the spatial resolution capacity has been improved further with the development of 3-dimensional fast spin echo techniques [10][11][12][13]. Kim et al compared the diagnostic efficacy of single shot fast spin echo and 3-dimensional fast spin echo patients with bile duct stones [14].…”

3-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) images reconstructed using the maximum intensity projection technique were analyzed qualitatively in patients diagnosed with pancreatobiliary diseases to determine their diagnostic utility. Single shot fast spin echo (SSFSE), fast spin echo (FSE) and 3-dimensional reconstructive images were acquired from 20 patients diagnosed histologically with pancreatobiliary diseases using a 3.0T MR scanner. According to qualitative analysis, the fast spin echo images and 3-dimensional reconstructed images of the hepatic duct, gall bladder and common bile duct had a higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) than the single shot fast spin echo images. Fast spin echo images and 3-dimensional reconstructed images did not show any differences. The contrast to noise ratio of the hepatic duct, gallbladder and common bile duct on the fast spin echo images and 3-dimensional reconstructed images was higher than that of the single shot fast spin echo images. The fast spin echo images and 3-dimensional reconstructed images showed similar quality.
