Gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography for evaluation of biliary-enteric anastomoses: Added value beyond conventional T2-weighted images
American Journal of Roentgenology Sep 02, 2019
Boraschi P, Donati F, Pacciardi F, et al. - Fifty patients with BEA and clinically and sonographically suspected complications were recruited and were made to undergo 1.5-T MRI by the researchers in order to assess image quality and reader confidence in MR cholangiography of bile ducts using conventional T2-weighted MR cholangiography alone compared with T2-weighted MR cholangiography and gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography in a series of patients with biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA). Using gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography vs T2-weighted MR cholangiography alone, a notable betterment in image quality for visualization of all biliary segments was observed. Thus, it was concluded that gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography could enhance image quality for visualization of the biliary tract and further improved the diagnostic performance of conventional T2-weighted MR cholangiography in the assessment of patients with BEA.
