The value of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale and objectives

To establish a diagnostic model based on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical characteristics for diagnosing extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA).

Materials and methods

From April 2014 to September 2021, consecutive patients with extrahepatic bile duct lesions who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI within 1 month before pathological examination were retrospectively enrolled. Two radiologists blinded to clinicopathological information independently evaluated MR images. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant clinicoradiological features associated with eCCA, which were subsequently incorporated into a diagnostic model. Model performance was assessed using the area unde
