Abstract
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a recent, non in vasive, diagnostic modality capable of producing high quality images o f biliary and pancreatic ducts. On the basis of the literature and our experience, we report the history and the current status of this new technology, including 2D, 3D and single shot fast spin echo sequences. As perspectives echo-planar imaging and functional imaging are discus sed.
