MRCP and Its Role in the Evaluation of Pancreaticobiliary Tract in Gall Stone Disease at a Tertiary Care Centre in North India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography) is a widely used investigation and is now firmly established in the evaluation of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. It helps in the assessment of causes of biliary abnormalities and can be useful in the evaluation of the pancreatic duct without the invasiveness of an endoscopic procedure. In view of limitation of US and CT and invasiveness of PTC and ERCP there is continuous need for a non invasive high resolution modality. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of MRCP with its ultrasound correlation. Methods: This study included 50 patients who had undergone MRCP prior to cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones. There were 23 males and 27 female patients Result: The majority of patient presented with epigastric pain & vomiting. The percentage rate of detection of gall stones and CBD stones were 89.75% and 76.19% on USG respectively. The same for MRCP was 87.18% and 95.24% respectively. MRCP showed high positive predictive value in diagnosing choledocholithiasis and diagnosing hepatobiliary lesions. Conclusion: MRCP now readily, easily and accurately permits the study and evaluation of anatomy and pathology of the pancreaticobiliary tree. It is non invasive and non ionizing imaging method. Our results states that preoperative MRCP had a concrete safeguarding effect on laparoscopic cholecystectomy and deserves promotion.
