Core Tip	This is a retrospective cohort study that evaluated magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography images from 180 patients. We found that the incidence of biliary events was significantly elevated in patients who had more than two gallstones, an angle of > 92° between the gallbladder and the cystic duct, and/or a cystic duct diameter < 6 mm. When considering these factors as a risk factor of gallstone-related biliary events, the positive predictive value for biliary events in patients with all three risk factors was 89.3%.
