Other Imaging Findings

• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): most sensitive/specific for common bile duct (CBD) stones
• Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP): diagnostic accuracy equivalent to ERCP, but not therapeutic
• Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan: highly sensitive for acute cholecytitis
