Methods We had a self-control study for the quality of MRCP images before and after 46 patients taking orally black tea. Results After taking Black tea, MRCP image quality significantly improved,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). After taking black tea, it can effectively restrain the stomach, duodenum intestinal liquid high signal. Conclusion Black tea is a kind of oral negative contrast agent, which can effectively eliminate the gastrointestinal fluid signal. It can significantly improve the image quality by applying black tea on MRCP
