Role of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in diagnosing choledochal cysts: Case series and review

Figure 1 Sixty-year-old female. A, B: Coronal and axial T2 weighted half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo images show a type IV Choledochal cyst; C: Thin-slice magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography sequence demonstrates the anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary duct (arrow).

Figure 2 Forty nine-year-old male. Maximum intensity projection reconstruction of thin-slice magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo images demonstrates a choledochal cyst type IV. Note the anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct (black arrow) and the presence of a small stones in the pancreatic duct (arrows).

Figure 3 Seventy four-year-old female. Axial and coronal T2 weighted half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo images showing type IV choledochal cyst with multiple stones in the lumen.

Figure 4 Forty seven-year-old male. A, B: Coronal T2 weighted half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo image and thick-slice magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography sequence; C: Maximum intensity projection reconstruction demonstrate a choledochal cyst type IV.
