Magnetic resonance cholangiographic assessment of a delayed radiation-induced bile duct stricture

Dig Liver Dis. 2001 Oct;33(7):584-6. doi: 10.1016/s1590-8658(01)80111-0.

Abstract

Radiation-induced bile duct strictures are rare since bile ducts are considered to be resistant in radiation injury. We report a case of bile duct stenosis where evidence is presented that bile duct stricture was the result of radiation injury and which illustrates the major contribution of magnetic res-onance cholangiography in biliary tract disease evaluation.
