Abstract

The objective of the study was to compare the physical characteristics of the diseases of each patient participating in the MRCP exam and to carry out a detailed analysis between the score obtained by the medical evaluation, the averages obtained by the Image J® software curve. Participated in the study 64 patients (31 women, 33 men). Determination of the sequences and the procedure for the patients was defined by two radiologists from the clinic. Thus, they also analyzed the images acquired from the research, called evaluator 1 (E1) and 2 (E2). For this study, the images and scores assigned by E2, obtained with a manufactured contrast were chosen for a subset of 14 patients (21.87%) of 64. 4 being score 2 (100%) (1 woman and 3 men); 5 patients with score 3 (12.82%) (3 women and 2 men) of 39 total; and 5 (23.81%) were score 4 (2 women and 3 men) of 21 total. In the selected images, a line or rectangle was used in the region of the common bile duct. The relevance of this work is in the development of a protocol applied to available software for the identification of diseases through changes in average values of gray levels in chosen regions of organs.
