Twenty six were excluded due to anatomical reasons or because MRCP or ERCP could not be performed successfully. Results of MRCP were interpreted by two radiologists and a gastroenterologist unaware of clinical diagnosis. Final diagnosis was determined by ERCP and histopathological findings or a follow up of at least 12 months.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2014MRCP images of diagnostic quality were obtained in all 60 patients. Thirteen patients had a clear bile duct. Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of any abnormality (n=47) were 89% and 92%, and for the detection of malignancy (n=27) 81% and 100%, respectively. These results were equivalent to the respective figures of ERCP (91% and 92% for any abnormality, and 93% and 94% for malignant diseases).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2014MRCP is as sensitive as ERCP in the evaluation of bilary tract diseases. As the specificity of this non-invasive technique is close to 100%, MRCP may prevent inappropriate invasive explorations of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct.\n
