Will MRI/MRCP eventually replace ERCP? Could GI end up losing this procedure to IR docs?
Who interprets the MRCP images? Gastroenterologists or radiologists? Is there a turf war going on just like radiologists fighting to read cardiac CT/MRI?
radiologists read MRCPs and virtual colonoscopies
and please, cardiologists are fighting to read cardiac CT/MRI
where i am, it doesn't seem to be that much of a fight.. ie radiologists get bullied pretty easily because they don't have the patient base.
...But they most likely own the CT or the MRI scanner (even where you are).
