Integrated Problems Radiology: Right Upper Quadrant Pain

MRCBDstone

This is an example of another type of study that can be done to evaluate the biliary tree, called MRCP (MR-cholangio pancreatography). It can demonstrate the biliary tree by using T2 weighting. T2 weighting causes water to display high signal, and bile is mostly water. See if you can find the common bile duct and what you see within it on this coronal MR image.
