  • Title: Detection of bile duct leaks using MR cholangiography with mangfodipir trisodium (Teslascan).
    Author: Vitellas KM, El-Dieb A, Vaswani K, Bennett WF, Fromkes J, Steinberg S, Bova JG.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 2001; 25(1):102-5. PubMed ID: 11176303.
    Abstract:
    Mangafodipir trisodium (Teslascan), a hepatobiliary contrast agent, has the potential of providing functional biliary imaging similar to hepatobiliary scintigraphy. To our knowledge. the potential role of this biliary contrast agent in the detection of bile duct leaks has not been reported. In this case report, we report the first case of a bile duct leak diagnosed with enhanced MRI with mangafodipir trisodium in a patient following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our case illustrates that functional MR cholangiography images can be successfully acquired by using a post-mangafodipir fat-suppressed GRE technique and that bile duct leaks can be detected.
