Liver transplant patients who present with abdominal pain after removal of the T-tube can be initially evaluated by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography (CEMRC) instead of abdominal computed tomography and hepatobiliary scintigraphy. In this article, 3 liver transplant patients who were evaluated by CEMRC after removal of the T-tube. CEMRC successfully identified the presence, location and extent of bile duct leaks, and can be performed as a diagnostic study in patients with suspected bile duct leaks.
