Nice article: www.ajronline.org/cgi/reprint/145/1/57.pdf

The biliary system and portal venous system are bounded
by the same fibrous capsule [1 3]. Therefore, simultaneous
imaging of a portal vein branch and a second parallel tubular
structure has been reported to be a highly accurate sign for
biliary ductal dilatation. This appearance has been referred to
as the double-barrel sign, parallel-channel sign, and the shotgun
sign [5-7].

double-duct sign

Peer comment(s):

neutral Dr Sue Levy (X) : this seems to be specifically for the pancreas whereas Doppelflintenphänomen applies to intrahepatic bile ducts
