Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a novel non-invasive technique for diagnosis of pancreatic-biliary disease. The purpose of this book is to highlight the advantages, limitations and indications of MRCP. Specific examples have been selected to showcase the utility of this technique in a large variety of clinical conditions. Each example is purposefully used to stress important technical features, to give practical advice, or to discuss the role of MRCP in specific clinical situations. Important features of the book are the high quality of the illustrations, the reduction of the text to relevant and practically useful issues, and the simple and logic organisation of the case material. The book should the optimal technique in MRCP, the pitfalls and limitations.

La cholangio-pancréatographie par résonance magnétique représente une nouvelle technique non agressive pour le diagnostic des maladies de l'arbre biliopancréatique. Conçu comme un atlas éducatif, cet ouvrage illustre systématiquement l'anatomie, ses variantes, les pathologies bénignes, les traumatiques et postopératoires, la pathologie néoplasique des voies biliaires intra et extra hépatiques, de la vésicule, du canal cystique, du complexe sphinctérien de Vater et du canal pancréatique. Ses points forts sont la grande qualité des illustrations, la brièveté des textes pour une utilisation pratique, et l'organisation logique des cas présentés. Il devrait donc être d'une grande utilité pour tous ceux qui sont concernés par le diagnostic ou le traitement des malades pancréatobiliaires.
