Sample item

Which MRI sequence is used to noninvasively depict bile and pancreatic ducts?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. MR cholangiopancreatography

MRCP uses heavily T2-weighted imaging to make static fluid in biliary and pancreatic ducts appear bright without iodinated contrast.

Option by option

  • A. MR cholangiopancreatography (correct)

    Correct: fluid-bright MRCP maps ducts.

  • B. Cardiac cine MRI

    Cine MRI assesses cardiac motion.

  • C. MR venography

    MRV depicts veins.

  • D. Diffusion-weighted brain MRI

    DWI assesses water restriction.
