MR cholangiography with manganese dipyridoxyl diphosphate in the evaluation of biliary-enteric anastomoses: preliminary experience.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to assess the usefulness of manganese dipyridoxyl diphosphate (Mn-DPDP)-enhanced T1-weighted MR cholangiography for evaluating patients with biliary-enteric anastomoses.


CONCLUSIONS
Mn-DPDP-enhanced T1-weighted MR cholangiography may provide useful functional information and may aid in the assessment of the patency of biliary-enteric anastomoses.
