Abstract:

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRCP using 0.3 Tesla MRI in patients with obstructive jaundice. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at the Radiology department of Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar from October 2014 to February 2016 using non probability consecutive sampling. 59 patients of all age-groups with obstructive jaundice were selected. Previously diagnosed and follow up cases of obstructive jaundice were excluded. Results: MRCP accurately identified the level of biliary obstruction in 54 (91.5%) out of 59 cases. Among these 34(62.9%) had malignant stricture,12(22.2%)had Choledocholithasis, 3(5.5%)were with pericholecystectomy CBD ligation, 3(5.5%) had choledochocele and 2 (3.7%) had cholangitis. The study was in conclusive in 5(8.4%) cases. Conclusion: MRCP is highly sensitive, noninvasive imaging modality IN determining level of obstructive jaundice. MRCP examinations done with low field strength MR systems are good for evaluation of biliary duct pathologies. These MR systems are reliable and practical. There are cheap to install and operate.
