MRCP 1.5 T vs 3T, does it matter?
Hi, my boyfriend (35 male) is scheduled for an MRCP tomorrow. His stools have been extremely pale and floating with severe weight loss (45 pounds over 14 months), yet his CT, HIDA scan, ultrasound, and stool tests have all come back normal. His GI specialist ordered the MRCP to evaluate the bile duct area and pancreas.
Given that pancreatic cancer can be difficult to identify, is there a meaningful difference between 1.5T and 3T MRCP for the pancreas and bile ducts evaluation?
Thank you so much for reading.
