Well, MRCP stands for, get ready for this, Magnetic resonance Cholangiopancreatography
Despite the fact that it's name is unequivocally long, it's a pretty simple test in concept. It's designed to detect gallstones in the biliary and pancreatic ducts surrounding the gallbladder.
The key words are Magnetic Resonance. You've heard of an MRI, well, MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imagine. Magnetic Resonance scans are good because they're non invasive. Basically that means they don't have to make the patient feel uncomfortable.
These MRCP tests are often used, as opposed to ERCP tests (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography tests) for the sole reason that they're non invasive. With an ERCP test, they have to shove an endoscope down the esophagus, all the way to the biliary and pancreatic ducts. That's considered invasive. With MRCP tests, it's all digital images, hence noninvasive.
