Navigate Biliary Pathology on MRI with Confidence
No credit card required.
Biliary pathology is everywhere in clinical practice. Obstruction. Cholangiocarcinoma. PSC. Gallbladder masses. Most trainees see these on CT but struggle when the hepatobiliary MRI comes through — because the protocol is more complex and the pathology overlaps.
This course cuts through that. Twenty carefully selected cases cover the five most important areas of biliary imaging: causes of obstruction, biliary tumours, gallbladder abnormalities, sclerosing cholangitis, and post-procedural assessment. Each case is built to teach a specific principle.
You commit to findings. You get immediate AI Attending feedback. By the end, you'll know how to approach the biliary tree systematically — and how to distinguish a benign stricture from a cholangiocarcinoma.
Who This Course Is For
R4–R5 residents. Body imaging fellows. Staff radiologists who want to be more confident with biliary MRI. Any radiologist who wants to stop guessing at biliary stricture characterisation.
Pathologies include:

Biliary Obstruction
- ●Including choledocholithiasis, benign vs. malignant strictures, and Mirizzi syndrome
Biliary & Gallbladder Tumours
- ●Including hilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder carcinoma
Sclerosing Cholangitis
- ●Including PSC and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangiopathy
Post-Procedure Complications
- ●Including bile leak, biloma, and anastomotic strictures
What You'll Learn
- 1Identify and classify the cause of biliary obstruction using MRI/MRCP — distinguishing stone disease, strictures, and neoplasm.
- 2Recognise and characterise cholangiocarcinoma in its three anatomical subtypes (hilar, distal, intrahepatic) and understand how location affects staging and surgical planning.
- 3Differentiate PSC from IgG4 cholangiopathy using specific imaging features and clinical context.
