“…In the present study, 3D MRCP exhibited the same capability for the visualization of the segment of pancreatic main duct as 2D MRCP, which is in agreement with the results of the study by Kim et al (12), Palmucci et al (3) and Sodickson et al (4), but other studies have reported varying results (2,5,18). The reasons for this may include that the pancreatic duct is sensitive to respiration (17) and that 2D MRCP exhibits superior in-plane resolution (4).…”

Abstract. The present study aimed to compare two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for the assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions. Between February 2009 and December 2011, 35 patients that had been diagnosed with pancreatic cystic lesions, which was confirmed by surgery and pathology, underwent pre-operative 2D or 3D MRCP for preoperative evaluation. In the present study, the quality of these 2D and 3D MRCP images, the visualization of the features of the cystic lesions, visualization of the pancreatic main duct and prediction of ductal communication with the cystic lesions were evaluated and compared using statistical software. The 3D MRCP images were determined to be of higher quality compared with the 2D MRCP images. The features of the cystic lesions were visualized better on 3D MRCP compared with 2D MRCP. The same capability for the visualization of the segment of the pancreatic main duct was exhibited by 3D and 2D MRCP. There was no significant difference between the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 2D and 3D MRCP, which assessed the prediction of communication between cystic lesions and the pancreatic main duct. It was concluded that, compared with 2D MRCP, 3D MRCP provides an improved assessment of pancreatic cystic lesions, but does not exhibit an improved capability for the visualization of the pancreatic main duct or for the prediction of communication between cystic lesions and the pancreatic main duct.

“…In our study, 46 patients shows the typical features of CT and 42 patients shows the typical features of MRI were: (1) the dynamic nature of the enhanced feature of progressive nature of concentric enhancement, internal lesions was flaky, grid-like or liear strengthing; (2) intrahepatic duct dilatation; (3) capsular retraction; (4) satellite nodule is also seen. With the recent advances of imaging techniques, 3D MR cholangiopancreatography (3D-MRCP) is emerging as a promising technique due to its high image quality and ability to clarify anatomic relationships (Sodickson et al 2006;Glockner et al, 2007;Choi et al, 2008;Palmucci et al, 2010). The diagnostic procedures of IHHCC can be summarized as follows: clinical features 4 B-ultrasound 4 CT or MRI 4 surgical resection (radical resection or palliative resection or abdominal exploration) or stent implantation.…”

Background: The management of hepatolithiasis combined with intrahepatic cholangicarcinoma (IHHCC) remains a challenge due to poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to summarize our diagnosis and cure experience of IHHCC over the recent 10 years. Methods: From January 1996 to January 2006, 66 patients with IHHCC were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Of the 66 patients, 52 underwent surgical resection (radical resection in 38 and palliative in 14) and 8 patients abdominal exploration, while the other 6 cases received endoscopic retrograde biliary internal drainage and stent implantation. In this series, correct diagnosis of advanced stage was made during operation in 8 cases (8/60, 13.3%) and all of them (underwent unnecessary abdominal exploration, among them the positive rate of CA19-9 was 100%, and the positive rate of CEA was 87.6% (7/8), incidence rate of ascites was 100% and short-term significant weight loss was 100%, with median overall survival of only 4 months. Conclusion: Radical resection is mandatory for IHHCC patient to achieve long-term survival, the CT and MR imaging features of IHHCC being concentric enhancement. Patients with IHHCC have significant higher CA199 and significant higher CEA and short-term significant weight loss and ascites should be considered with advanced stage of IHHCC and unnecessary non-therapeutic laparotomies should be avoided.
