Abstract
End-expiration, 21-second breath-hold, three-dimensional magnetic resonance
(MR) cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was developed with Segmented echo-pla
nar imaging. In 15 healthy subjects and 14 randomly selected patients under
going liver studies, three-dimensional MRCP images were obtained and volume
rendered. In 15 (100%) healthy subjects and 13(93%) patients, clear depict
ion of biliary, hepatic, and pancreatic ducts (with lumen diameter of at le
ast 2 mm) was possible with good signal-to-noise ratio.
