Novel 3D morphological characteristics for congenital biliary dilatation diagnosis: a case–control study
Abstract Background: Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) necessitates the timely removal of dilated bile ducts. Accurate differentiation between CBD and secondary biliary dilatation (SBD) is crucial for treatment decisions, and identification of CBD with intrahepatic involvement is vital for surgical planning and supportive care. This study aimed to develop quantitative models based on bile duct morphology to distinguish CBD from SBD and further identify CBD with intrahepatic involvement. Materials and methods: The retrospective study included 131 CBD and 209 SBD patients
