Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hi Adam For me, I prefer the MRCP as to the ERCP for obvious reasons (post- procedure pain). But the MRCP only showed small stones in my bile duct. It could not visualize my pancreatic duct. Only through the ERCP did the Dr. get a closer look at things and discovered that I have very high pressure in the pancreatic duct. So I guess it depends on what they are looking for as to what test would be better. Have you ever had an ERCP ? I have had a total of 5 ERCP's and about 4 MRCP's. Both tests showed different things. Hope this helps some. Kris in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
