Abstract

This study was undertaken to assess the usefulness of MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) with a half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequence as a noninvasive imaging technique to evaluate biliary or pancreatic disease in young children. We prospectively examined 45 children (mean age, 3 years) with MRCP using HASTE on a 1.5-T MR imaging unit. MRCP images were obtained in 1.4 sec without breath-hold. A body phased array coil and fat saturation technique were used for data collection. On the basis of the surgical (n = 19) and ERCP (n = 7) findings, clinical data, and follow-up observation, 21 children were deemed to have no significant abnormality. The other 24 children were found to have pancreaticobiliary disease, including congenital biliary atresia in five neonates, choledochal cyst in six infants, and anomalous connections between the bile and pancreatic ducts in four infants and nine young children. In children without abnormality, the MRCP images were graded for the depiction of normal structures. The findings obtained by MRCP were correlated with the surgical or ERCP results. HASTE MRCP showed the first branch of the intrahepatic duct, the common hepatic duct, the gallbladder, and the common bile ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
