Gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography for evaluation of biliary-enteric anastomoses: Added value beyond conventional T2-weighted images
American Journal of Roentgenology May 14, 2019
Boraschi P, et al. - In comparison with T2-weighted MR cholangiography and gadoxetate disodium–enhanced MR cholangiography in a series of patients with biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA), researchers assessed image quality and reader confidence in MR cholangiography of bile ducts using conventional T2-weighted MR cholangiography alone. For this investigation, 50 patients with BEA and complications suspected clinically and sonographically had 1.5-T MRI. Using gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MR cholangiography compared to T2-weighted MR cholangiography alone, a significant improvement in image quality for visualization of all biliary segments was found. Findings suggested that gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MR cholangiography can enhance the image quality for biliary tract visualization and further improve the diagnostic performance of conventional T2-weighted MR cholangiography in BEA patient evaluation.
