Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography findings in early chronic pancreatitis diagnosed according to the Japanese Diagnostic Criteria

It is important for diagnosing early chronic pancreatitis (CP), which may be improved by therapeutic intervention. We aimed to examine the pancreatic ductal changes on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in patients with early CP defined by the Japanese Diagnostic Criteria.
