OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of S-MRCP in patients in whom ERCP performed by experts in a tertiary center were unsuccessful. METHODS From January 2000 to June 2003, 22 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The indications for ERCP were obstructive jaundice (n = 9), abnormal liver enzymes (n = 8), suspected chronic pancreatitis (n = 2), recurrent pancreatitis (n = 2) or suspected pancreatic cancer (n = 1). The reasons for the ERCP failure were postsurgical anatomy (n = 7), duodenum stenosis (n = 3), duodenal diverticulum (n = 2), or technical failure (n = 10). MRCP images were evaluated before and 5 and 10 min after the i.v. administration of 0.5 IU/kg secretin. RESULTS The MRCP images were diagnostic in all but 1 patient. Five patients gave normal MR fadings and required no further intervention. S-MRCP detected abnormalities (primary sclerosing cholangitis, chronic pancreatitis, cholangitis, cholecystolithiasis or common bile duct dilatation) in 10 patients, who were followed up clinically. Four patients subsequently underwent laparotomy (hepatico-jejunostomy owing to common bile duct stenosis caused by unresectable pancreatic cancer; hepaticotomy + Kehr drainage because of narrow biliary-enteric anastomosis; choledocho-jejunostomy, gastro-jejunostomy and Wirsungo-gastrostomy in consequence of chronic pancreatitis or choledocho-jejunostomy because of common bile duct stenosis caused by chronic pancreatitis). Three patients participated in therapeutic percutaneous transhepatic drainage; the indications were choledocholithiasis in one patient choledocho-jejunostomy anastomosis, narrow biliary-enteric anastomosis, or cholangiocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS S-MRCP is the method of choice in cases where ERCP is not possible.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
