Abstract

The purpose of our study was to perform a prospective comparative analysis of three‐dimensional (3D) steady‐state free precession (SSFP) and two‐dimensional (2D) fast spin‐echo (FSB) imaging in the evaluation of 26 patients with suspected bile duct obstruction. SSFP and highly T2‐weighted FSB sequences were obtained for each patient in multiple planes. Both sequences were reviewed independently and results were compared with findings from direct cholangiography (n = 17) or from a combination of sonography and CT (n = 9). The extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) and intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) were dilated In 32% and 54% of patients, respectively. The EHBDs were visualized in 44% of patients with SSFP. versus in 96% with FSE. One or more IHBD segments were seen In 42% of the SSFP sequences and in 100% of the FSB sequences. A portion of, or the entire, pancreatic duct was seen in 23% of the SSFP sequences and in 65% of the FSE sequences. Our findings lead us to conclude that T2‐weighted FSE sequences are superior to SSFP sequences In visualizing the biliary tree and pancreatic duct and that they should replace gradient‐echo sequences in MR Cholangiopancreatography.

T2-weighted high-resolution gradient and fast spin echo sequences are widely used as an alternative or adjunct to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted temporal bone imaging. However, to date no systematic comparison has been presented. The purpose of this work is to identify optimal acquisition parameters
