Abstract

Multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are cross-sectional imaging modalities largely used for patients with pancreatobiliary diseases.1–3 Despite recent technological advances, correct use and interpretation of related radiological findings require good clinical judgment and collaboration between gastroenterologists and radiologists. In this article, we highlight mistakes frequently made during the radiological investigation and interpretation of findings in patients with suspected pancreatobiliary diseases, based on the available literature and on our clinical experience.
