What is Secretin Enhanced MRCP?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has come to be considered a promising noninvasive alternative imaging technique in the evaluation of pancreatic injuries. MRCP shows excellent spatial resolution and direct visualization of the entire pancreaticobiliary tract (Ragozzino, 2003). Secretin enhanced MRCP (S-MRCP) relies on dynamic responses of the main pancreatic duct to secrete fluid after Secretin stimulation, which causes the improvement of visual clarity in sharpening pancreatic imaging (Matos, 1999).
