1 From the Department of Radiology (M.F.A., K.S., A.A.A., D.D.T.M.) and Division of Gastroenterology/Hepatology (S.S., G.A.L.), Indiana University School of Medicine, UH 0279, 550 N University Blvd, Indianapolis, IN 46202-5253. Presented as an education exhibit at the 2004 RSNA Annual Meeting. Received April 4, 2005; revision requested May 24 and received July 15; accepted July 29.

Secretin causes temporary dilatation of pancreatic ducts, principally by increasing pancreatic exocrine secretions, and thus allows better visualization of the ducts at magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiopancreatography. Secretin-enhanced MR cholangiopancreatography is useful for detection and diagnosis of a variety of congenital, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions of the pancreas. Although MR cholangiopancreatography without secretin is a reliable method for evaluating the pancreatobiliary ductal system, the authors believe that secretin-enhanced MR cholangiopancreatography gives additional valuable functional and anatomic information about the pancreatic duct and pancreatic excretory capacity.
