Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cholangiography is a technique used to visualize gallstones in the biliary apparatus. Recently, noninvasive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has been used to visualize gallstones that travel outside the gallbladder and into the surrounding biliary ducts and pancreas.
