Which of the following is true regarding the principle of use of MRCP
MRI cholangiography and MRI cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) are imaging techniques used to evaluate the biliary system. Heavily T2- weighted images are used to provide an overview of the biliary system and pancreatic duct Excellent diagnostic - quality images are obtainable, with high sensitivity and specificity for evaluation of biliary duct dilation, strictures and intra ductal abnormalities Ref: Blumga surgery of liver, biliary tract and pancreas 5th edition Pgno : 315
Intra liminal dye is used to create the three dimension view of the structures
Dye is instilled percutaneously first then MRI is used
Use of heavily T2-weighted image without contrast to create the three dimensional image of the biliary tree using MIP algorithm
Use of systemic Gadolinium as a contrast agent to create the three dimensional image of the biliary tree
