Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography versus Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Pancreaticobiliary Disorders
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is an alternative to diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for investigating biliary obstruction. Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the findings of MRCP with those of ERCP in pancreaticobiliary disorders. Materials and Methods: Patients who were having a history of obstructive jaundice, pain abdomen, and cholangitis were included. 25 patients with these symptoms underwent MRCP using 1.5 Tesla Siemens symphony magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The results were compared with ERCP. Results: Both MRCP and ERCP were fails to detect some type of causes. They are 4% cases of stricture and 20% cases of normal in MRCP. ERCP has failed in detecting cases in all most all the type expect calculus. Conclusion: MRCP is able to determine accurately more cases than ERCP in both cause and extent of obstruction.
