Abstract
Non invasive imaging of the biliary tract is now generally easy to obtain; abdominal ultrasound for gallbladder stones and magnetic resonance cholangiography for the main bile duct and the intrahepatic bile ducts. But, for gallbladder stones, the greatest care must be taken by the radiologist to link up the symptomatology and the cholelithiasis. Precise description of the abdominal pain (nature, intensity, location, duration, irradiation…) is needed and must be searched by the radiologist to prevent misdiagnosis.
