“Evaluation of hepatobiliary disorders using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in a low-resource setting in Kano, Nigeria: a retrospective study”
MRCP successfully detected hepatobiliary and pancreatic abnormalities in most patients, with obstructive jaundice being the primary indication and obstructive cholelithiasis the most frequent diagnosis. The study also found a correlation between main pancreatic duct diameter and age, where larger diameters signalled abnormalities, reinforcing MRCP's diagnostic significance.
