Bile duct strictures. (a) Maximum intensity projections of three-dimensional (3D) thin-slab fast spin-echo T₂ weighted image demonstrates the dilation and strictures of the intrahepatic biliary of both left and right lobes. (b) Coronal T₂ weighted image shows intrahepatic (open arrow) and anastomotic (arrow) strictures. (c, d) Maximum intensity projections of 3D thin-slab fast spin-echo T₂ weighted image and the corresponding T₁ weighted MR cholangiography obtained after intravenous administration of a hepatobiliary contrast agent (gadoxetic acid) show an anastomotic stricture (arrowheads). To note that MR cholangiography tends to overestimate biliary stricture.
