Definition of age dependent reference values for diameter of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct on MRCP from a population based cohort study

Objectives Changes in diameters of the pancreaticobiliary ducts are markers of benign and malignant pancreaticobiliary conditions. MRCP is first line, non-invasive imaging modality. The reference ranges in asymptomatic individuals have only been studied in small cohorts. We aim define new reference values for diameters of pancreaticobiliary ducts on MRCP in the general population.
