Multiplanar reformations and minimum intensity projections using multi-detector row CT for assessing anomalies and disorders of the pancreaticobiliary tree

Figure 10 Choledochal cyst in a 7 years old girl with jaundice. A: MinIP (coronal oblique 14.1 mm thickness slab) image shows dilatation of the entire extrahepatic bile duct (black arrows) and a long common channel (white arrow). Note the subtle increased attenuation (arrowheads) within the distal common bile duct, which represents stones; B: Operative cholangiography shows dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct with a long common channel (white arrow), which is identical to the findings obtained by MinIP (A).
