[MR-Cholangiopancreatography as a single-shot projection: techniques and results of 200 examinations].

PURPOSE: Evaluation of utility and value of a selective projection technique for bile and pancreatic ducts in MRI. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 200 patient examinations of the pancreaticobiliary duct system using a turbo-SE pulse sequence in "single-shot" technique were evaluated in retrospect concerning anatomic display and diagnostic accuracy compared to surgery, ERCP, i.v. cholangiography, ultrasound and clinical course. RESULTS: Non-dilated ducts allowed visualisation of gallbladders in 78%, common bile ducts in 97%, cystic ducts in 80%, intrahepatic main ducts in 71% and pancreatic main ducts in 69%. When dilatation was present, all common bile, intrahepatic main and pancreatic ducts were visible. Display of cystic ducts and gallbladders with a detection rate of 69 and 85%, respectively, did not improve. Sensitivities for diagnosing papillary stenoses (n = 6), pancreatic ductal stenoses and dilatation (n = 13), compressions and dilatations of the biliary tree (n = 33) as well as for one choledochal cyst were 100%. Choledocholithiasis could correctly be predicted in 11/15 cases (73%), cholecystolithiasis in 71/120 cases (59%). CONCLUSION: "Single-shot" MR-cholangiopancreatography is a fast and non-invasive modality which can replace i.v. cholangiography and restrict the indication for ERCP to therapeutic indications and problem cases.

Interest and limitations of projective techniques in the assessment of personality disorders.

Assessing personality disorders (PD) remains a difficult task because of persistent problems linked to concurrent validity of existing instruments, which are all structured interviews or self-report inventories. It has been advocated that indirect methods, projective techniques in particular, can strengthen PD assessment methods. The thematic apperception test (TAT) may be a significant adjuvant method of PD assessment.
