Study of Hepatobiliary Diseases using Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)

Abstract

Hepato-biliary system abnormalities, especially cholelithiasis and different types of tumors those need accurate diagnoses help to eliminate side effects, and complications of those diseases that may affect other body parts. Objective of this research was to study Hepato-biliary by using MRCP. The study was carried out in Al-Amal Al-watany hospital, Al-Rebat hospital, MRI department with general electric and Philip 1.5 Tesla, and Antalia diagnostic center, MRI department GE 1.5 Tesla. The study was performed from November 2016 to February 2017. The data were collected from (50) patients and all patients have history of hepato-biliary system abnormalities, with age range (21-80) years old, and weight rang (50-93) kg. The result showed 58% of patients were female, the 42% male also showed that the range of the most affected weight was (50-60) kg and almost of the abnormalities was gall stones (52%). The result of this study also show that the MRCP detected (98%) from studying population affected by hepato-biliary disease, where the ultrasound detected (44%) from studying group. The study concludes that the Magnetic Resonance imaging is the best modality in detecting the hepato-biliary diseases.
