    Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic inflammatory disease that requires non-invasive imaging for diagnosis and monitoring.

  • 2

    The Anali scoring system predicts PSC survival factors, including liver decompensation and the need for liver transplantation.

  • 3

    Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (GA-MRI) effectively diagnoses potential functional strictures in PSC patients and predicts clinical outcomes.

  • 4

    Validation studies confirm the predictive value of Anali scores and their correlation with clinical outcomes in PSC patients.

  • 5

    A retrospective study included adults with large-duct PSC who underwent GA-MRI, excluding patients with confounding conditions.
