“…[6,8,9,11,13,14,[17][18][19][20][21] A recent meta-analysis of 25 studies on the detection rate of CBD stones demonstrated an estimated sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 95% for MRCP. [22] It must be noted that many studies reporting low sensitivity and/or NPV of MRCP are more than a decade old and might be outdated due to the technological advancements of MRCP in the period following their publication.…”

“…[25][26][27] The sensitivity of MRCP has also been shown to be less for small stones (<5 mm) and for stones lodged in the ampulla of Vater as can occur during biliary pancreatitis. [16,28,29] Many studies analysing the overall diagnostic accuracy of MRCP had a very limited number of participants [5][6][7][8][9]11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] with a range of 30 [5,8] to 315 patients. [11] Many of these studies had a variety of different types of patients and different and/or unclear definitions of a normal or negative MRCP.…”
