title: Cholangiopancreatography using magnetic resonance.
abstract: This article traces the history of efforts to image the biliary tract, focusing on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). It examines key factors in successful MRCP, including coil selection, respiration control, pulse sequences, slice mode acquisition and post-processing. The article also presents pathological findings of MRCP and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure.
