O-40 Prognostic Role of Magnetic Resonance of the Abdomen With Intravenous Contrast and Cholangioresonance in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Our Experience

Advancing prognostic assessment in primary sclerosing cholangitis: insights from abdominal magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with Anali scores

“…The study conducted by López Grove et al (3) and published in this issue of Radiologia Brasileira focuses on the importance of contrast-enhanced MRI of the abdomen and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for the noninvasive investigation of patients with PSC and for predicting disease progression, using the Anali scores together with clinical outcomes, such as liver transplantation, decompensation of liver cirrhosis, and death. Two other MRI signs were used for the PCS evaluation: periportal edema and heterogeneous liver parenchymal signal on diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, which are routinely obtained during contrast-enhanced MRI examinations of the upper abdomen.…”

“…The López Grove et al (3) study represents the first analysis of Anali scores in South America. It is crucial to confirm the external validity of the Anali scores, as well as to promote their widespread recognition and acceptance among radiologists.…”
