Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Does anyone have any ideas regarding whether an MRCP or CT scan is more effective in diagnosing pancreatitis? My dr. initially stated that we would do an MRCP then seemed to change her mind to CT scan. Is anyone aware of the differences between the two?

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 Gabe, I believe the test are pretty comperative however the MRCP will show greater detail than a CT scan. MRCP show a great deal of detail and are very expensive for this reason. She may just want to see what a CT shows before they go to a MRCP. Hope& Prayers Maines Cincinnati, OHio mrcp vs. ct scan?
