MRI findings of primary biliary cirrhosis: correlation with Scheuer histologic staging.

ABSTRACT

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC; currently regarded as a vanishing bile duct syndrome) are not established. In this report, we describe our preliminary analysis of the relation between MRI findings and histopathologic staging of PBC and review clinical, morphologic, and MRI findings of PBC especially focusing on the staging of PBC.
