The overall imaging quality of BH CS-MRCP, BH-MRCP and NT MRCP protocols were not significant different. Both the two breath-hold approaches were considering the time-saving advantages without deterioration of image quality. Compared with BH CS-MRCP, BH-MRCP yielded significantly better visualization of the segment 2 and 3 branch of the intrahepatic duct, and performed better consistency in main pancreatic duct and common bile duct morphology. Therefore, BH-MRCP in terms of superior visualization and morphological consistency can be recommended to improve workflow and diagnostic efficacy, and be preferred for patients with irregular breathing pattern.
