“…In our study which comprised 50 patients of idiopathic pancreatitis, we attempted to assess the utility of MRCP in evaluating the cause of idiopathic pancreatitis. An MRCP is a non-invasive exploration which has also proved its value in diagnosing entities responsible for an attack of acute pancreatitis such as choledocholithiasis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic duct strictures or stones, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and anatomic anomalies [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Aims: Idiopathic pancreatitis may be diagnosed once all causes of pancreatitis are excluded by thorough history, metabolic profile and conventional imaging modality, i.e., abdominal ultrasonography. In this study, we have attempted to evaluate the cause of idiopathic pancreatitis with the help of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MrcP). Methods: Fifty patients presenting with idiopathic pancreatitis were assessed prospectively using MrcP with strength 1.5 tesla for potential cause of the attack of pancreatitis. results: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was able to establish the cause of pancreatitis in eleven (22%) patients, as follows. common bile duct stone in one (2%), pancreatic divisum in one (2%), gallbladder stone in one (2%), pancreatic duct stone in one (2%), chronic pancreatitis in two (4%), gallbladder sludge in two (4%) and anomalous pancreaticobiliary union in three

The normal serum bilirubin concentration in adults is less than 18 mmol/l. Jaundice is best looked for in the sclerae and mucous membrane of the soft palate and is a common sign in almost all liver and biliary tract diseases. There are several important questions of value in determining the diagnosis which the clinician should ask himself/herself: 1 Is the jaundice due to an obstruction of the biliary tree?

“…3 In initial attempts to visualize biliary tree, steady-state free precession imaging was used with high contrast over several breath holds. 4,5 However, steady-state free-precession sequences proved too sensitive to signal loss from magnetic susceptibility, fluid motion and pulsation. So now-a-days preferred imaging is Rapid Acquisition with Relaxation Enhancement (RARE).…”

MRCP means magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography. First described in clinical practice in 1991. MRCP technique is based on heavily T2 weighted pulse sequences, which result in dramatic increase in contrast between stationary fluid (bile) and background tissue. OBJECTIVES OF STUDY To describe features of pancreaticobiliary diseases on MRCP.  Outlining the extent in terms of involvement of adjacent structures, vessels and soft tissues.  To help in deciding further course of management.  To identify the anatomical variants.  Comparing MRCP to ERCP whenever necessary.  To prove the Magnetic Resonance Cholangio-Pancreatography (MRCP) is one of the best imaging modality for evaluation of pancreatico-biliary disease. MATERIAL AND METHODSThe present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of MRCP in evaluation of pancreaticobiliary diseases. The study will be done on patients presenting with features suggestive of pancreatico-biliary diseases attending the OPD or admitted in various wards of Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital and Sangameshwar Teaching Hospital, Kalaburagi, attached to M.R. Medical College, Kalaburagi. A total of 50 patients were included in our study. RESULTMajority of patients in study population were males (58%), while 42% were females. The mean age of the study sample was 46.6 years and maximum numbers of cases were observed in 30-70 years of age group. Benign causes were seen in 11-50 years of age group, while malignant causes were more common between 41-75 years of age group. Majority of pathologies observed were benign 38 (76%). Most common benign disorder observed was cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis (20%) followed by acute pancreatitis (12%). Majority of CBD strictures were benign and commonly seen in females (8%). CBD strictures were more commonly observed in the distal common bile duct. Malignant pathologies were observed in 24% patients. Most common malignant pathology seen was cholangiocarcinoma (12%) followed by periampullary carcinoma (6%) and gallbladder carcinoma (6%). CONCLUSIONMRCP is non-invasive, non-ionizing imaging method for evaluation of pancreatico-biliary anatomy and pathology. It is superior diagnostic modality in detection and characterization of pancreatico-biliary pathologies.
