title: State of the art 3D MR-cholangiopancreatography for tumor detection.
abstract: With the use of current multislice techniques for MR cholangiopancreatography various upper abdominal pathologies including pancreatic carcinoma, Klatskin tumor and metastatic spread can be non invasively depicted. Respiratory gating allows free breathing of the patient, which increases patient comfort, while excellent image quality can be achieved. In this concise pictorial report, state of the art MRCP images of various cancer entities including sequence descriptons are presented.
