We compared magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) with multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) cholangiography in the assessment of patients with bile duct obstruction. Thirty-six patients with clinical or biochemical signs of biliary obstruction were prospectively studied. MRC was performed with...
