Abstract
Obstructive jaundice results from obstruction to the flow of bile into the duodenum. The study was conducted to evaluate imaging findings in USG and MRCP in 46 cases of suspected biliary obstruction during November 2016 to October 2018. This cross sectional analytic study was conducted in Department of Radiodiagnosis, VIMSAR, BURLA. All patients were subjected to USG & MRCP. Results were compared and found MRCP superior to USG in diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.
Keywords: Obstructive jaundice, USG , MRCP.
