Core Tip	The current findings on the value of magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) in diagnosis of biliary anatomy in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) donors are conflicting. This meta-analysis including 12 studies with 869 patients suggested that MRC has a high specificity in diagnosis of biliary anatomy in LDLT donors, but the sensitivity is moderate. This is the first meta-analysis to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of MRC in the detection of biliary anatomy in LDLT donors; and these results will provide valuable information to the doctors when they make a decision for the living liver donors.
