Three‐dimensional helical computed tomography cholangiography with minimum intensity projection in gallbladder carcinoma patients with obstructive jaundice: Comparison with magnetic resonance cholangiography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography

Abstract

Three-dimensional helical CT cholangiography with minIP can correctly determine the level of biliary obstruction in patients with GC and may be a strong competitor with MRC, because it gives equivalent information with regard to the level of ductal obstruction even while being a part of an overall comprehensive CT staging study. Even though 3-D CTC did not provide additional information on top of the source images, the referring physicians found them very useful for conceptualization of the 3-D biliary anatomy.
