Abstract Ultrasound is the gold standard of gallbladder im-aging, but when the gallbladder appears abnormal on preoperative sonographic imaging studies, MRCP rep-resents an ideal complementary tool. Besides excluding the concomitant lithiasis of the common bile duct, MRCP imaging allows accurate visualization of the intra-and extrahepatic biliary tracts and can reveal a greater number of anatomical variations.

Abstract

Abstract Ultrasound is the gold standard of gallbladder im-aging, but when the gallbladder appears abnormal on preoperative sonographic imaging studies, MRCP rep-resents an ideal complementary tool. Besides excluding the concomitant lithiasis of the common bile duct, MRCP imaging allows accurate visualization of the intra-and extrahepatic biliary tracts and can reveal a greater number of anatomical variations.
