MRCP preparation

1. Fasting: Typically, you will be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours before the MRCP procedure to ensure a clear visualization of the bile ducts and pancreas.
2. Medication: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking, especially if you have diabetes or take medications that affect kidney function.
3. Metal objects: Remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, piercings, or clothing with metal components, before the procedure.
4. Inform the radiology technologist: Let the radiology technologist know if you have any metal implants, devices, or medical conditions that might affect the MRI examination.
5. Contrast agent (if needed): In some cases, a contrast agent may be injected intravenously to enhance the visualization of certain structures. Your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions on whether a contrast agent will be used and if you need to take any precautions.

It’s essential to follow the specific instructions provided where you are scheduled to undergo the MRCP procedure to ensure the best results.
