| Abstract: | The letter published in European Radiology discusses the use of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI with MRCP for early diagnosis, monitoring, and outcome prediction of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The authors introduce the concept of potential functional stricture (PFS) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool that correlates with laboratory tests, clinical scores, and clinical outcomes. They suggest that combining PFS with Anali scores from a single exam could create a more accurate prognostic model for PSC patients. The authors emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, complication identification, and outcome prediction in managing PSC effectively. [Extracted from the article] |
