  2. 1. Evaluation of MRI as a diagnostic method in biliary tract conditions

    Author : Katarina Håkansson; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; T2; T1; Relaxation rate; Gallbladder bile; Acute cholangitis; Biliary duct injury; Biliary duct disease; Cholecystectomy; Bile duct; Acute cholecystitis; ERCP; Ultrasound; MRI; MRCP;

    Abstract : The diagnostic value of modern fast pulse sequences and breath-hold technique was evaluated in a prospective study of patients with suspected biliary diseases. The cost-effectiveness of MRI compared to ultrasound was calculated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Magnetic resonance imaging as a tool for diagnosis, evaluation, and prognosis in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis

    Author : Aristeidis Grigoriadis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver and bile duct disease of unknown etiology. It usually progresses to liver failure and need for liver transplantation. Additionally, patients with PSC have an increased risk of developing hepatobiliary malignancies, predominantly cholangiocarcinoma. READ MORE

  5. 3. Non-Invasive Characterization of Liver Disease : By Multimodal Quantitative Magnetic Resonance

    Author : Markus Karlsson; Peter Lundberg; Gunnar Cedersund; Nils Dahlström; Stergios Kechagias; Steven Sourbron; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : There is a large and unmet need for diagnostic tool that can be used to characterize chronic liver diseases (CLD). In the earlier stages of CLD, much of the diagnostics involves performing biopsies, which are evaluated by a histopathologist for the presence of e.g. fat, iron, inflammation, and fibrosis.

  6. 4. Gallbladder and pancreatic disease in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis

    Author : Karouk Said; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cholecystitis; gallbladder; ejection fraction; magnetic resonance imaging; pancreatic duct; chronic pancreatitis; thioredoxin; Immunohistochemical staining;

    Abstract : The aims of this study were to assess the occurrence of gallbladder abnormalities and dysfunction, to evaluate clinically useful biomarkers for premalignancy and malignancy in gallbladder epithelium and to assess presence of pancreatic duct changes and early pancreatic abnormalities in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). In paper I and III we investigated presence of gallbladder abnormalities in 286 patients with PSC treated at Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, between 1970 and 2005. READ MORE

  7. 5. New technologies for the further advancement of ERCP

    Author : Marcus Reuterwall Hansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The capabilities of conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are hampered by several limitations. Newly developed adjunct technologies such as single operator peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy (SOPCP) and new imaging techniques could overcome some of these limitations, but their role in common clinical practice have not yet been established.
