Abstract
Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a primary bile duct malignant tumour with poor prognosis. Familiarity with their varied imaging characteristics can be helpful in developing a correct diagnosis and in optimal treatment planning, and thus contribute to a better prognosis. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the typical appearances of extrahepatic CCA on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and three-dimensional (3D) LAVA (liver acquisition with volume acceleration) sequences at 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to discuss the superiority of the two techniques in the diagnosis of CCA.
