CT appearance of sclerosing cholangitis

Bile duct strictures associated with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy

“…The radiographic findings in our patients and those reported previously mimic those seen with primary sclerosing cholangitis [16][17][18][19][20]. The cholangiographic features are multifocal areas of biliary stricture involving the common hepatic duct, cystic duct, and/or intrahepatic ducts.…”

Primary sclerosing cholangitis: sonographic findings

“…Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) are, however, invasive techniques that are impractical for screening patients who present with nonspecific hepatobiliary complaints. Previous reports have noted that sonography and computed tomography (CT) can serve as noninvasive screening alternatives in diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Few reports regarding the sonographic manifestations of PSC are available [10][11][12][13].…”

Primary sclerosing cholangitis

“…The finding of focal discontinuous areas of minimal intrahepatic dilatation without an associated mass lesion seems to be highly suggestive of sclerosing cholangitis [24]. Only the rare, diffuse form of cholangiocarcinoma would be likely to produce a similar CT appearance [25]. CT, like US, may demonstrate signs of advanced disease, such as secondary biliary cirrhosis (Fig.…”
