New Research Achievements of the National Liver Institute in Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography Compared to Conventional Cholangiography During Liver Transplantation from a Living Donor

Researcher Marha Mohamed Abbas, a teaching assistant in the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the National Liver Institute, conducted a master's thesis study titled:

"Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography Versus Conventional Cholangiography During Liver Transplantation from a Living Donor."

The study was supervised by a committee consisting of:

Prof. Inas Mohamed Karim, Professor of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the Institute.

Prof. Mohamed Saeed Abdel-Gawad, Professor of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the Institute.

Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Magdy Abdel-Hamid, Lecturer of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the Institute.

Dr. Yehia Ahmed Mansour Fayad, Lecturer of Liver, Pancreas, and Biliary Surgery at the Institute.

The thesis was discussed at the institute in the presence of an examination committee comprising:

Prof. Mohamed Saeed Abdel-Gawad

Prof. Hisham El-Sayed El-Sheikh, Professor of Diagnostic Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Benha University

Assoc. Prof. Rasha Abdel-Hafiz Ali, Assistant Professor of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the Institute

The study aimed to assess the benefits of magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) in preoperative biliary anatomy mapping for adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and compare it with intraoperative cholangiography results.

The research highlighted MRC as a highly accurate and reliable non-invasive imaging technique for preoperative mapping of biliary anatomy in living liver donors. Its excellent performance in identifying normal anatomy and overall diagnostic accuracy makes it a valuable tool in preoperative assessment for potential donors.

The discussion was attended by Prof. Mohamed Mohamed El-Husseiny, Professor and Head of the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging at the Institute, along with distinguished professors, faculty members, and department staff, all wishing her continued success and excellence.
