OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to describe the technique and utility of functional MR cholangiography (fMRC) in the evaluation of the gallbladder and biliary tree. CONCLUSION: FMRC has the potential to provide a comprehensive examination for the anatomic and functional assessment of the gallbladder and biliary tree. Complex anatomic abnormalities and functional disorders can be shown by fMRC, including biliary obstruction and extravasation.
