title: Preoperative imaging of a choledochal cyst in children: non-breath-holding magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
abstract: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) was used to visualize the biliary tract in two children, aged 7 weeks and 10 years, with a choledochal cyst. MRCP was successful in both cases and the findings were confirmed by intraoperative cholangiography.
