What is an MRCP? </>An MRCP test is a specialized MRI exam that evaluates the hepatiobiliary and pancreatic systems, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and pancreatic duct. An MRCP test can also be ordered to find the cause of pancreatitis or diagnose unexplained abdominal pain. Additionally, MRCP is a less invasive alternative to ERCP, a procedure that uses an endoscope combined with an IV injection of x-ray contrast dye and fluoroscopy (x-ray images).
