MRCP can serve as an alternative to ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram), an invasive procedure utilising dyes and X-ray imaging to capture photos of the pancreatic duct, pancreas and bile ducts.
The primary distinctions between MRCP and ERCP lie in the less invasive nature of MRCP, reduced procedural time, and absence of radiation exposure, making it a safer option.
