An observational study in Obstructive Jaundice, sponsored by Sohag University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 89 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-31.
Sponsored by Sohag University · Observational
Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) compared with Ultrasound and Computed Tomography (CT) in patients with obstructive jaundice taking findings of ERCP/ PTC and histopathology as gold standard.
MRCP as a diagnostic role to determine the presence and severity of biliary and pancreatic ductal dilatation. It can also detect the length of the stricture as well as the exact cause and location of the obstructing lesion in comparison to other modalities.
Adult male and female patients clinically diagnosed obstructive jaundice are included in the study with positive laboratory tests.
Adult male and female patients clinically diagnosed obstructive jaundice are included in the study with positive laboratory tests.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with non-obstructive (prehepatic/hepatic) cause of jaundice. Patients having contraindications to perform MRI (Patients with any electrically, magnetically or mechanically activated implants, pacemaker, cochlear implants or any metallic orthopedic implants and claustrophobic patients).
MRCP as a role that is used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for visualizing the pancreaticobiliary tree without the use of contrast media
Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography
Three most important sequences included axial T2 weighted scan from liver to ampullary region followed by T2 weighted 3D FSE sequence acquired in coronal oblique plane using respiratory triggering by tying bellows over abdomen. After this breath hold HASTE sequence is acquired in coronal plane. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) and thick slab images are also used for interpretation. US, CECT and MRCP scans are interpreted by radiologists blinded to other imaging findings
Also known as: Ultrasound, Computed tomography
