Magnetic resonance cholangiography is a new field of clinical application within MR imaging, enabling high-quality imaging on disorders of the pancreaticobiliary system. This cross-sectional imaging technique is, by means of postprocessing, suitable for the production of reconstruction images appropriate for comparison with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. The quality of the images thus obtained is dependent upon the level of development of the technology and software available. Observations arising from authors initial examinations using 2D fast spin echo sequence are summarised.
