Image Quality Scores for Common Bile Duct and Cystic Duct

Note.—Data are means ± standard deviation, with range of scores in parentheses.

*For reader 1, BH SPARSE scores were significantly higher than RT SPACE scores for distal common bile duct (P = .036) and cystic duct (P = .037).

^†For reader 1, duct visualization scores were significantly higher for BH SPARSE than for RT SPACE for distal common bile duct (P = .011) and cystic duct (P = .037).

^‡For reader 1, sharpness of cystic duct scores were significantly higher for BH SPARSE-SPACE than for RT SPACE (P = .037).

^§One patient with prior liver transplant had choledochojejunostomy, and hence, common bile duct was not assessed.

^||Three patients had absence of cystic duct due to prior surgeries, and hence, cystic duct was not assessed
