Abstract：Objective To investigate the influence of respiratory training on MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) image quality. Methods Altogether 60 patients who underwent MRCP examinations were randomly and evenly divided into two groups: training group (30 cases) and un-training group (30 cases). Pre-examination breathing training was performed in training group. While, no such training was performed in un-training group. Then, the image quality in both groups was assessed into 4 grades ranging from bad (1 score), fair (2 score), good (3 score) and excellent (4 score). The rank sum test was used to analyze the assessment results. Results The image of training group demonstrated high quality than those of un-training group. And statistically significant differences existed between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Respiratory motion could cause great influence on image quality. Pre-examination respiratory training improved the quality of MRCP images.
