Disease Status in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis by Elastography

Start date: October 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease that can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. Assessment of disease status is important to determine optimal treatment but the diagnosis of PSC is challenging. There is a dire need of an accurate non-invasive tool for longitudinal assessment of PSC. MR Elastography (MRE) has been recently proven to estimate liver fibrosis noninvasively and accurately. Estimation of liver fibrosis by MRE along with imaging derived morphological information (MRCP) will be utilized in this study comprehensively to provide a surrogate non-invasive imaging biomarker for monitoring disease status in PSC. Successful outcomes will provide an opportunity for optimal treatment triage including liver transplantation via accurate and non-invasive estimation of true disease status in PSC.
