Abstract iMR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a vital diagnostic tool for pediatric hepatic and pancreatobiliary diseases. Its non-invasive nature and high-resolution imaging capabilities provide valuable insights into the anatomy and pathology of these systems. MRCP is a radiation-free alternative to invasive procedures, minimizing risks and discomfort. With ongoing advancements in MR imaging technology, MRCP continues to improve patient outcomes and quality of care. Although ultrasound was found to be superior to MRI in detection of gall bladder stones and biliary sludge, MRCP is invaluable for evaluation of pancreatic pathologies. In conclusion, MRCP have a higher diagnostic accuracy contrasted with US in detecting various hepatic and pancreatobiliary disease in children, especially in diagnosis of pancreatic diseases. |
