Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

Full description

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.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 15 to 89 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

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).

Trial design

50 participants in 1 patient group

Patients diagnosed with obstructive jaundice

Description:

MRCP as a role that is used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for visualizing the pancreaticobiliary tree without the use of contrast media

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography
