Precision Mapping of Intrahepatic Biliary Anatomy and Its Anatomical Variants Having a Normal Liver Using 2D and 3D MRCP.

Despite significant advances in hepatobiliary surgery, biliary injury and leakage remain typical postoperative complications. Thus, a precise depiction of the intrahepatic biliary anatomy and anatomical variant is crucial in preoperative evaluation. This study aimed to evaluate the precision of 2D and 3D magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in exact mapping of intrahepatic biliary anatomy and its variants anatomically in subjects with normal liver using intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) as a reference standard.
