Magnetic Resonance Cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) for Suspected Bilio-pancreatic Disease
The interpretation of Magnetic Resonance Cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP)-findings is primarily performed by radiologists who only in some cases have experience with the interpretation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-images. It is unclear if MRCP-interpretation by the radiologist is sufficient to decide which additional endoscopic procedures might be necessary in an individual case or if an additional MRCP-interpretation by the endoscopist renders any clinical impact.

Who can participate
Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients aged 18 years or older who were referred for pancreato-biliary endoscopy to our unit based on actual MRCP-findings. In all cases MRCP should have been performed within 4 weeks prior admittance and a written radiological report as well as the digital images must be available.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who had any endoscopic interventions in our institution before and also patients who underwent MRCP at our hospital were excluded.
Treatment and study plan
Primary outcomes
-
Endoscopic management
Time frame: 1 day
Did the MRCP-interpretation by the gastroenterologist alter the scheduled endoscopic interventions ?
Secondary outcomes
-
MRCP-interpretation
Time frame: 1 day
Are there differences in the MRCP-interpreatation beween the radiologist and the gastroenterologist.
