Core Tip The value of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in detecting biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is conflicting. This study, with 83 OLT recipients suspected of biliary complications, suggests that MDCT is a useful screening tool for detecting biliary complications after OLT. MDCT presented a sensitivity of 90.6% and specificity of 86.7% for biliary strictures, and both sensitivity and specificity of 100% for biliary stones, anastomotic bile leak and biloma. So far, this is the largest sample population to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of MDCT for biliary complications after OLT, which will help us make a treatment decision.
