Cholangiography may be helpful for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis with noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopically to rule out primary sclerosing cholangitis. Findings on an cholangiography diagnostic of primary biliary cirrhosis include shortened and diminished branching of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is used to evaluate the extent of fibrosis in advanced disease.

Overview

Cholangiography may be helpful for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis with noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopically to rule out primary sclerosing cholangitis. Findings on an cholangiography diagnostic of primary biliary cirrhosis include shortened and diminished branches of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is used to evaluate the extent of fibrosis in advanced disease.

Other Imaging Findings

Cholangiography

  • Cholangiography may be helpful for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis with noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopically to rule out primary sclerosing cholangitis.
  • Findings on an cholangiography diagnostic of primary biliary cirrhosis include:[1][2]

Transient elastography (Fibroscan)

  • Findings on transient elastography may show reasonable correlation with the severity of cirrhosis:[3][4][5]
