Core Tip	We propose a novel classification system for the morphology of cystic duct (CD) based on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography to guide clinical practice. We also found that CD tortuosity is an independent risk factor for gallstones, which provides a theoretical basis for the construction of predictive models and prevention in high-risk patients.
