Abstract :Purpose: Cholelithiasis is a common gallbladder disease with high morbidity and treatment cost. Although the disease has many formation factors such as bile duct obstruction, congenital anomalies, genetic and metabolic diseases, the main cause is gallstones. The aim of this study is to examine the radio-anatomic and demographic characteristics of the bile ducts of patients who have cholelithiasis due to gallstones by using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MRCP); and to compare with healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out by retrospectively scanning the MRCP images of 113 patients diagnosed with cholelithiasis and 87 healthy individuals who were referred to the hospital for various indications and had no gallbladder pathology. Results: According to the Spearman rho correlation test performed by ignoring gender, a significant correlation was found between right hepatic duct diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RHD-D); and right hepatic duct – cystic duct angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RHDCD-A);, and between left hepatic duct diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LHD-D); and common bile duct diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBD-D);. In the correlation analysis performed only among males, a significant correlation was found between RHDCD-A and right hepatic duct – left hepatic duct angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RLHD-A);, RHDCD-A and common hepatic duct diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHD-D); parameters. In the correlation analysis performed only among women, a significant relationship was found between age and RHD-D, LHD-D, CHD-D, CBD-D, between RHDCD-A and cystic duct – gallbladder angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CDG-A);, RHD-D, and between CHD-D and cystic duct diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CD-D);. Conclusion: This study will contribute to literature by revealing the morphometric characteristics and radio- anatomic information of the hepatobiliary systems of both patients with cholelithiasis and healthy individuals.
