  • Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has largely replaced ERCP as the gold standard for diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, able to achieve similar sensitivity (90-94%) and specificity (95-99%) without ionizing radiation, intravenous contrast, or the complication rate inherent in ERCP.
