Thanks Colleen, I am hoping for some feedback. I made a list of questions and have already sent it through my portal and tomorrow have a phone consult to review them. I have the EUS ERCP scheduled for July. But I have just had one last year so I'm a bit baffled by this. One of my questions is related to accuracy of EUS ERCP vs MRCP. You would think the EUS would be more accurate yet it failed to show the cysts that both MRCP showed. And now MRCP is suggesting further testing with concern of mass or stricture. I feel like I'm going in circles. Thanks for your help.

An MRI or MRCP is the method of choice in accurately assessing whether an IPMN is communicating with the main duct or strictly in the side duct. Indeterminate cysts and analysis if cyst fluid can be better using EUS.
