ABSTRACT
Forty patients with suspected common bile duct stones [CBDSs] were scheduled to undergo an elective cholecystectomy. Confirmation or exclusion of CBDSs by magnetic resonance cholangiography [MRC] was assessed. The results of ERC were analyzed. The study concluded that MRC-based diagnosis has the potential to reduce the number of invasive preoperative diagnostic procedures and their associated risks and overall health care costs
