Dilatation of common bile duct (CBD) is the first sign in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice. On magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), the measurement of the CBD diameter is commonly performed on the widest part of the duct, and the long axis diameter is used in clinical practice. It is aimed to investigate the role of long axis, short axis and sphericity index (SI) of CBD in the diagnosis of obstructive cholestasis. MRCP images of 68 patients who had a bile duct diameter of ≥6 mm were retrospectively evaluated. The cases with a direct bili
