AMA Clinical Examples in Radiology - 2022 Issue 3 (Summer)
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (QMRCP)
Summer 2022 pages 7-11 CLINICAL EXAMPLE 2 Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (QMRCP) CLINICAL HISTORY A 37-year-old male with a diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is referred for follow-up quantitative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (QMRCP). Previous QMRCP scans did not provide evidence to suggest the presence of a dominant or high-grade stricture within the biliary tree. TECHNIQUE The radiologist reviewed the request for the follow-up scan to clarify the indications for the procedure. The patient's MRCP data set was acquired prior to this request. The MR data from the MRCP data set were transferred to artificial intelligence (AI) processing software at...
