Assessment of variations in intrahepatic bile duct by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography
Keywords:
cystic duct, common bile duct, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, intra hepatic bile duc, variationsAbstract
For any biliary system or liver surgery, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the normal branching pattern of the intrahepatic bile duct and its deviations in order to prevent serious post-surgical problems and morbidity. Aim: This study's goal was to assess the variations in intrahepatic bile ducts appeared during Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examinations. Place and Duration: In the Radiology department of Mian Gul Abdul Haq Jehanzeb Kidney Hospital Swat from January 2022 to June 2022. Methods: This cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted among people who had been referred for MRCP examinations for a number of clinical reasons. A total of 70 patients done with MRCP examinations were selected by convenience sampling technique being used. The data of 1.5T Magnetom Amira Siemens MRI scanner was used for anlaysis. Using visual analysis, the 3D MRCP images were categorized into 7 Types using the Choi et al classification. Results: Among the 36(51.4%) patients in this analysis had Type 1/normal IHBD, 13(18.6%) had Type 2 IHBD, Type 3A was seen in 2(2.8%), and Type 3B was noticed in 5.7% of subjects.
