Value of MRCP+ And Liver Multiscan in the Management of Dominant Strictures in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic progressive biliary disease. Due to the heterogeneous disease course and the relatively low clinical event rate of 5% per year it is difficult to predict prognosis of individual patients. Novel imaging techniques called MRCP+ and Liver Multiscan (LMS) hold the prospect of adequate depicting and quantifying lesions of the biliary tree as well as capturing functional derailment. However, these features must be tested first. The purpose of this study is to assess the (i) ability of MRCP+ to detect change in biliary volume, (ii) reproducibility of MRCP+ and LMS, and (iii) correlation of MRCP+ with ERC findings as gold standard.
