MR cholangiography in orthotopic liver transplantation: sensitivity and specificity in detecting biliary complications.

Background: To assess the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) when evaluating biliary complications in a large series of liver transplants.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-nine patients prospectively underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR cholangiography at 1.5-T device after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
