A member asked:
I had an abdominal mri with contrast, is this enough to evaluate gall bladder and pancreas or do i need an mrcp?

3D with MRCP better: Accurate diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is of outmost importance because clearance of lithiasis [gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD)] rules out recurrence...The new imaging technique 3D sequence with MIP and volume rendered images add more diagnostic accuracy and hence increase the superiority of MRCP for the diagnosis of biliary obstruction pathologies over all other imaging.
