Overview
MRI combined with magnetic resonance cholangiography is sensitive in detection of liver and lymph node metastasis in gall bladder cancer with sensitivity of around 100% and 92% respectively.
MRI
Dynamic MRI considered being useful and reliable in staging of advanced gallbladder cancer. MRI combined with magnetic resonance cholangiography is sensitive in detection of obstructive jaundice, liver invasion as well as liver and lymph nodes metastasis. It may be more difficult to delineate the invasion to duodenum and omental metastasis by MRI. Reported sensitivity rates for direct hepatic invasion and lymph node invasion on MRI can be as high as 100% and 92% respectively. [1]
