Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in Patients with Gall Stone Diseases and its Correlation with USG Findings
Abstract: Background: Gallstone disease is a common hepatobiliary disorder. Ultrasonography (USG) is the first-line imaging modality, whereas Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) provides comprehensive evaluation of the biliary system and associated anatomical variations. Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic role of MRCP in gallstone disease and correlate its findings with ultrasonographic findings. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital over a period of 18 months. Sixty patients with clinically suspected gallstone disease underwent both transabdominal ultrasonography and MRCP. Gallstone detection, gallbladder volume, common bile duct (CBD) diameter, biliary tract abnormalities, stone distribution, and hepatic and cystic duct anatomical variants were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0, with p
