1. To learn the common etiologies of biliary tract injuries. 2. To describe our institutional protocol for the evaluation of biliary tract injury, including the utility of different imaging modalities (CT, MR, nuclear medicine). 3. To recognize the common imaging findings of bile duct injury in the pre-operative setting. 4. To recognize and describe the post-operative biliary tract complications(biliary leak, obstruction, stricture).

-Background and etiology of biliary injury. -Types of biliary injury (Strasberg classification). -Imaging workup of biliary tract injury (MRCP, CT, hepatobiliary scintigraphy). - Description of salient pre-operative imaging findings when evaluating biliary tract injury (site of injury, length of involvement, presence of other biliary tract anomalies). - Description of imaging findings of post-operative biliary complications with cases (biliary leak, obstruction, stricture). - Summary and conclusions.
