Choledocholithiasis, the presence of a gallstone in the common bile duct, is a troublesome component of biliary tract disease. |

Thus MR has been reserved for cases in which choledocholithiasis is the main consideration or in pregnant patients where radiation exposure is of greatest concern. |
The clinical diagnosis of choledocholithiasis associated with acute cholecystitis and a renal tumour were established. |
Her past medical history included an ERCP for choledocholithiasis and hypertension. |
