Utility of MRCP in 3T MRI For Diagnosis of Pancreatic Duct Injury and Assessment of Pancreatic Leak
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the utility of MRCP in the evaluation of pancreatic duct injury and its complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Methods: Nine hemodynamically stable patients with clinically suspected pancreatic injury underwent MRCP and findings are studied for the presence or absence of pancreatic duct trauma and pancreas-specific complications such as pseudo cysts. MRCP findings were correlated with ERCP, surgical findings, computed tomography , and with clinical, biochemical or imaging follow-up. Results: 3D SPACE MRCPs were obtained in each of the 9 patients. Pancreatic duct injuries were detected in five patients; pseudocysts were detected in four of these patients. In one patient, disruption of the distal pancreatic duct diagnosed with MRCP was not detected with ERCP but confirmed surgically. The information derived from the MRCPs was used to guide clinical decision-making in all patients.
