MRI

MRI shows:

• Marked wall thickening
• High signal intensities of this thickening on T1- and T2-weighted images.
• A thin hypointense rim will be noticed along the inner surface of the thickened wall on the T2-weighted image

MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) shows:

• A stretched cystic duct
• Findings similar to those with T2-weighted images.
• Discontinuation between the gallbladder body and the cystic duct.
