MRCP Price in Bangladesh

What is MRCP?

MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses MRI to visualize the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreatic ducts. It helps diagnose conditions such as gallstones, bile duct blockages, pancreatitis, and tumors.

During the procedure, you will lie on a table that moves into the MRI scanner, which takes detailed images. A contrast dye may be injected to improve clarity.

No special preparation is usually needed, though fasting for several hours before the test may be required. Risks are minimal but may include allergic reactions to the contrast dye and mild discomfort from lying still.

Results provide valuable information for diagnosing digestive and pancreatic conditions.

What to expect & how to prepare

An MRI scanner uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves — not X-rays — to build detailed images of soft tissue. You lie still inside the scanner while it makes loud knocking noises; ear protection is provided.

• Metal and implants: tell the centre before your appointment about any pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant, aneurysm clip, insulin pump, metal fragment or recent surgery — some implants make MRI unsafe.
• Belongings: you will remove watches, jewellery, cards, hairpins and anything metallic, and you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: routine MRI needs no fasting. Fasting is only needed for certain contrast or abdominal studies, and the centre will tell you when it applies.
• Duration: an MRI usually takes longer than an X-ray — ask the centre how long your scan is scheduled for.

MRI uses no ionising radiation. If a contrast injection is planned, tell the staff about kidney disease, previous contrast reactions, allergies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request with a clinical question.
