## Overview

[edit | edit source]

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer.

## MRI

[edit | edit source]

* MRI,MRA can help in differentiate benign from malignant gallbladder lesions.[1][2]
* The combination of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) is particularly useful in diagnosing the following [3][4]
* Involvement of biliary tract
* Vascular invasion
* Involvement of liver
* Involvement of lymph nodes
