cholangiopancreatography

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a special type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam that produces detailed images of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic systems, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and pancreatic duct. This is used to help evaluate tumors, stones, inflammation or infection, and to evaluate patients with pancreatitis to detect the underlying cause.
