| Résumé : | Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is being increasingly used as a noninvasive diagnostic modality of pancreatic diseases and MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is now an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern gastroenterology, challenging endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). MR imaging and MRCP are obtained to evaluate the pancreatic parenchyma and the morphology of the pancreatic ducts in benign and malignant disorders as well as to assess anatomic variants. Although the information is the same as compared to ERCP, the underlying principles of MR imaging and MRCP are largely different and may be a source of pitfalls. In this chapter the most common pitfalls related to the intrinsic technique, to specific pancreatic diseases, and to anatomic variants are briefly described. The most common features of benign and malignant pancreatic diseases are underlined. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. |
