title: Value of manganese-enhanced T1- and T2-weighted MR cholangiography for differentiating cystic parenchymal lesions from cystic abnormalities which communicate with bile ducts.
abstract: We present a case report to show how manganese-enhanced T1- and T2-weighted MR cholangiography could differentiate cystic parenchymal lesions from cystic abnormalities which communicate with the bile ducts.
