Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: A useful tool in the evaluation of pancreatic and biliary disorders

Figure 3 A: Coronal SSFSE thin section source image, the same duct abnormalities is clearly seen in a different patient with pancreas divisum; B: Coronal SSFSE thin section source image, CBD and pancreatic duct showing conspicuous dilatation in a chronic pancreatitis patient; C: Coronal FSE thin section source image, large pseudocyst formations are seen throughout the pancreas obscuring the CBD and pancreatic duct; D: Coronal FSE thin section source image, a large heterogeneous high signal intensity pancreatic head adenocarcinoma causing dilatation of both CBD and pancreatic duct is seen; E: Coronal MIP image, there is moderate dilatation and following abrupt but smooth tapering of CBD draining into the jejunum (choledochojejunostomy), also a small dilated cystic duct is seen. Remnant pancreatic duct in the tail draining into the afferent jejunal loop (pancreaticojejunostomy). The patient had a history of whipple operation for pancreatic head adenocarcinoma.
