Overview

MRCP+ is an advanced biliary visualization software developed by Perspectum Diagnostics. It utilizes quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to process magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) images. The tool provides improved visualization of intra-hepatic ducts and enables the measurement of bile duct widths, biliary tree volume, and gallbladder volume. This enhanced data supports physicians in the visualization, evaluation, monitoring, and reporting of hepatobiliary structures, proving particularly relevant for serial evaluation in patients with conditions such as Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). MRCP+ is a non-invasive, contrast-free solution, with typical scans taking less than 15 minutes and providing same-day results. It is delivered as a cloud-based service, eliminating the need for additional MRI infrastructure or scan time, and can process data from all 1.5T and 3T GE, Siemens, and Philips MR scanners that support 3-D MRCP sequences.

What Physicians Need to Know

Pancreatobiliary Disease Assessment
MRCP+ provides enhanced visualization and quantitative assessment of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct using AI algorithms. It measures bile duct widths, biliary tree volume, and automatically detects strictures and dilatations, aiding in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of pancreatobiliary diseases, notably Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
IBD Assessment Tools
While not a direct IBD tool, MRCP+ is critical for monitoring Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a significant liver complication often associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). It helps track disease progression in PSC patients, which is vital for managing their overall gastrointestinal health.
Procedure Documentation
The software generates structured summary reports that include quantitative analysis and geometric characteristics of the biliary system and pancreatic duct, supporting comprehensive documentation of patient status and disease progression.
Quality Metrics Tracking
MRCP+ provides objective, quantitative metrics such as biliary tree volume, maximum common bile duct diameter, and the total number of ducts, strictures, and dilatations. These metrics enable longitudinal assessment and tracking of disease progression over time, informing patient management and quality improvement initiatives.
MRI System Compatibility
MRCP+ is a cloud-based service that processes data from standard 1.5T and 3T GE, Siemens, and Philips MR scanners that support 3-D MRCP sequences, requiring no additional MRI infrastructure or scan time.
Physician Tip

Leverage MRCP+ for objective, quantitative assessment of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct, particularly in patients with suspected or diagnosed pancreatobiliary diseases like Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The longitudinal tracking of metrics such as duct diameters, strictures, and dilatations can provide crucial insights into disease progression and response to therapy, aiding in timely management adjustments. This non-invasive tool enhances diagnostic confidence and can reduce reliance on subjective interpretations of conventional MRCPs.

MRCP+ is delivered as a cloud-based service, processing existing MRCP data without requiring additional MRI infrastructure or scan time. It is compatible with 1.5T and 3T GE, Siemens, and Philips MR scanners. The service has AMA-designated CPT codes (0723T and +0724T) for reimbursement and can be ordered through Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems as a standalone or add-on service.
