Pancreatic Ductal Abnormalities Documented by Secretin-Enhanced MRCP in Asymptomatic Subjects With Chronic Pancreatic Hyperenzymemia

Abstract

MRCP-S detected ductal findings consistent with chronic pancreatitis in one-third of CPH cases. Pancreas divisum and some dysfunction at the level of Vater's papilla were reported in 8 and 12% of the patients, respectively. MRCP-S is to be recommended, instead of MRCP, in the diagnostic work-up of CPH subjects.
