Anatomical variations of cystic duct (CD) are frequently unrecognized. It is important to be aware of these variations prior to any surgical, percutaneous, or endoscopic intervention procedures.\n                    <jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The purpose of our study was to demonstrate the imaging features of CD and its variants using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and document their prevalence in our population.\n                    <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    . This study included 198 patients who underwent MRCP due to different indications. Images were evaluated in picture archiving communication system (PACS) and variations of CD were documented.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Normal lateral insertion of CD at middle third of common hepatic duct was seen in 51% of cases. Medial insertion was seen in 16% of cases, of which 4% were low medial insertions. Low insertion of CD was noted in 9% of cases. Parallel course of CD was present in 7.5% of cases. High insertion was noted in 6% and short CD in 1% of cases. In 1 case, CD was draining into right hepatic duct. Congenital cystic dilation of CD was noted in one case with evidence of type IV choledochal cyst.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Cystic duct variations are common and MRCP is an optimal imaging modality for demonstration of cystic duct anatomy.\n
