Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Eileen, MRCP is an MRI for pancreas and all of those bilary ducts. It is just Imaging. ERCP is when they go in to that same area with an endoscope and use xray technology to take pictures. ERCP can be very dangerous and that can cause Pancreatitis. It is very important to go to a skilled and experienced Dr. (someone who does it all day long- not a lot of dr's) Jodi > > what is the difference between ercp and mrcp??? thanks > eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
