Title: "Evaluation of Hepatobiliary Disorders Using Magnetic Resonance
Cholangiopancreatography in a Low-Resource Setting in Kano,Nigeria: A Retrospective Study"
Version: 2 Date: 27 Jan 2025
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript contains good findings, however, it is poorly written and badly presented.
Here are the comments to improve the manuscript:
1-To  prove the role of MRCP, you should compare the findings of MRCP with another modality
such as ERCP or postoperative findings. The most accurate suggested title is "  Descriptive
study of hepatobiliary disorders using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in kano
in Nigeria: A retrospective study" to describe the findings of MRCP in Kano in Nigeria.
2-Abstract, MRCP is not a managing tool, 2-It is better to add the period of study.
3-Results, unsuitable analytic tests and incorrect correlations were done such as:
-In age, It is better to divide participants into 4 groups to assure more than 10 participants in each
group such as: 1-less than 20 years, 2-from 21 to 40, 3-from 41 to 60, and 4-More than 60 years.
-The comparison and correlations in CBD and pancreatic diameters between the participants is
not correct because these are pathologic cases with diversity in diameters due to pathologies.
4-Discussion, should be concentrated on the hepatobiliary disorders instead of the role of MRCP.
5- Figures should be preserved in their normal width and height.
6-Language editing is necessary to improve writing.
Best regards
