Brief Title
MRCP Diagnoses EHCC Better When Combined DWI
Official Title
The Incremental Value of 3T Diffusion-Weighted MRI in Diagnosing Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Brief Summary
Researching the diagnostic significance of Biliary Tract Neoplasm under combining DWI sequence with MRCP versus MRCP only separately.
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) combined with MRCP of 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of suspected malignant bile duct diseases. People with suspected Biliary Tract Neoplasm based on clinical symptoms (such as jaundice and thinness with unknown reasons) and CA-199 value raises are included.Diagnosis divided into two steps: the first one,only provide conventional MR sequences and MRCP images to make a diagnosis; the second step,provide the DWI images additionally, combining the image data before to make a diagnosis. Hypothesis is that DWI sequence should be regularly added into MRCP examination for improving diagnosis rate of Biliary Tract Neoplasm.
