[Abstract] Objective: To study enhanced MRI and MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings of hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma and evaluate the preoperative evaluation value of MRI and MRCP.Materials and Methods: Enhanced MRI and MRCP findings in 30 patients with hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma proved pathologically were retrospectively analyzed, the preoperative evaluations and operative results were compared.Results: All patients were found to have soft tissue mass at porta hepatis with delayed enhancement in MRI, and intrahepatic biliary duct dilation was seen. Enhanced MRI and MRCP could find infiltrated bile duct and blood vessels objectively, metastatic tumor also could be seen availably. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of preoperative evaluation in all patients were 82.4%, 84.6% and 83.3% respectively.Conclusion: Enhanced MRI and MRCP were valid method in the preoperative evaluation of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
