Contrast enhancement potential of food-based imaging agents in cholangiopancreatography and digestive tract investigations using MRI: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Oral administration of pineapple juice improves the diagnostic quality of MRCP investigations, while the contrast enhancement potential of FBS is limited in MRE studies. The high heterogeneity of results and moderate certainty of the evidence, however, require a cautious admission of results. Therefore, further research is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the reliability of FBS in these MRI investigations, as well as in other imaging modalities that are yet to be explored.
