Clinical significance of the confluence of the cystic duct in patients with anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliary duct

Diagnostic impact of computed tomography cholangiography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography on pancreaticobiliary maljunction

“…Moreover, the morphologic changes of the intrahepatic bile duct, such as stenosis and enlargement, must be assessed simultaneously. Imaging also allows for estimation of the confluent position of the cystic duct [15]. 2.…”

Clinical significance of bile reflux into the pancreatic duct without pancreaticobiliary maljunction assessed by intraoperative cholangiography

“…Because ERCP is considered to be an invasive method, IOC can substitute for preoperative ERCP to detect BRPD or PBR in benign biliary diseases. Moreover, recent reports have shown the usefulness of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with secretin injection or drip‐infusion cholangiography to diagnose occult BRPD or PBR .…”
