Prospective Comparison of the Carbon Footprint of EUS vs MRCP for Evaluation of Suspected Choledocholithiasis
Prospective Comparison of the Carbon Footprint of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) vs Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for Evaluation of Suspected Choledocholithiasis

Conditions
Summary
MRCP and EUS are diagnostically equivalent in detecting CBD stones among patients with intermediate risk, as shown in a landmark RCT. However, MRI-based imaging is power-intensive, requiring large infrastructure and long scan durations. EUS, a less energy-consuming and portable procedure, has the added advantage of enabling same-session ERCP, reducing the need for repeat procedures.
