To assess heavily T2-weighted breath-hold magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for imaging the pancreatic duct in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Thirty-nine patients with chronic pancreatitis were examined with a breath-hold fast spin-echo (FSE) sequence employing an echo train length of 32 and with a surface coil. Results were compared with those of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
MRCP showed the head, body, and tail of the pancreatic duct well in 79%, 64%, and 53% of cases, respectively. Agreement between MRCP and ERCP was 83%-92% in cases of ductal dilatation, 70%-92% in cases of ductal narrowing, and 92%-100% in cases of filling defects. Interobserver variation was low (kappa > 0.5) for most findings.
Breath-hold MRCP with an FSE technique depicts the pancreatic duct well in patients with chronic pancreatitis and demonstrates narrowing, dilatation, and filling defects with moderate to high accuracy.
评估重度T2加权屏气磁共振胰胆管造影(MRCP)对慢性胰腺炎患者胰管成像的效果。
39例慢性胰腺炎患者采用回波链长度为32的屏气快速自旋回波(FSE)序列及表面线圈进行检查。将结果与内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)的结果进行比较。
MRCP分别在79%、64%和53%的病例中清晰显示胰管头部、体部和尾部。在导管扩张病例中,MRCP与ERCP的一致性为83% - 92%;在导管狭窄病例中为70% - 92%;在充盈缺损病例中为92% - 100%。大多数结果的观察者间差异较低(kappa>0.5)。
采用FSE技术的屏气MRCP能较好地显示慢性胰腺炎患者的胰管,并能以中到高度准确性显示狭窄、扩张和充盈缺损。
