Other Imaging Findings

MRCP

• MRCP is one of the preferred diagnostic tests in Mirizzi’s syndrome.
• It can reveal stone in the common hepatic duct (CHD), extrinsic compression of the CHD and dilatation of the CHD with normal-sized common bile duct.
• It can assess biliary and pancreatic ducts.

ERCP

Often, ERCP is used to define the lesion anatomically prior to surgery.
