Abstract
The clinical significance of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (M RCP) using half-Fourier acquisition sin-le-shot turbo spine-cho (HASTE) in the evaluation of congenital anomalies of pancreaticobiliary tract was demo nstrated in 56 patients (man: 31, women: 25; age: 0-60 years old, mean 15 y ears old) with suspected congenital anomalies of pancreaticobiliary tract. The image quality and characteristics were assessed. MRCP using HASTE with a phased array coil can be used as a non-invasive method for the evaluation of congenital anomalies of the pancreaticobiliary tracts. (C) 2001 Elsevie r Science Ltd.
