The invention provides a contrast agent for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography use, which is tea water, the manganese concentration of which ranges from 5mg / l to 13mg / l. In the invention, thetea water used as the contrast agent has good taste, stable structure in human body, no changes to gastrointestinal system functions, high security factor, nontoxicity, good relaxation, no fermentation in intestinal cavum and no gas generation, and the intestinal cavum is fully filled with the tea water to ensure uniform signals in the intestinal cavum. The tea water has high solubility, low cost, wide sources, easy acceptability for sufferers, low concentration for orally taking without any obvious discomfort, nausea, vomiting and constipation, and the application of the contrast agent is realized by requiring no drug test; disease diagnosis can be realized by drinking the tea water, which is more acceptable for patients compared with chemical medicines. Furthermore, the application of the contrast agent is realized by requiring no drug test, thus greatly reducing the diagnosis charges of the patients.
