Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specialized procedure: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography [MRCP]: Non-secretin-enhanced

You had an MRI scan of your bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.

An MRI scan involves creating disc-shaped images of the inside of the body. The scan involves the use of very large magnets.

Bile is produced in the liver. The bile is transported via bile ducts within the liver towards the gallbladder. The bile is collected in the gallbladder. When you eat something, bile is released into the intestine. This is what the common bile duct to the intestine is for.

The pancreas is tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces messenger substances. The messenger substances control the sugar level in the blood. The pancreas also produces a fluid that is released into the intestines. This fluid contains substances that are important for the digestion of fats, proteins and sugars. The pancreatic duct connects the pancreas and the intestine.
