Magnetic resonance cholangiography in the assessment and management of biliary complications after OLT

Figure 8 Anastomotic stricture in a 54-year-old male patient who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for alcoholic cirrhosis. A: Coronal MIP reconstruction shows the stricture at the middle third of the extrahepatic bile duct, with biliary dilatation upstream; B: The degree of the stricture is better delineated on the paracoronally-reformatted thin 3D image (arrow); C: Filling defects visible on MRC images correspond to pneumobilia, appearing as air-fluid levels (arrowhead) on the axial T2-weighted HASTE sequence. MRC: Magnetic resonance cholangiography; MIP: Maximum intensity projection.
