Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic progressive biliary disease. Due to the heterogeneous disease course and the relatively low clinical event rate of 5% per year it is difficult to predict prognosis of individual patients. Novel imaging techniques called MRCP+ and Liver Multiscan (LMS) hold the prospect of adequate depicting and quantifying lesions of the biliary tree as well as capturing functional derailment. However, these features must be tested first.

The purpose of this study is to assess the (i) ability of MRCP+ to detect change in biliary volume, (ii) reproducibility of MRCP+ and LMS, and (iii) correlation of MRCP+ with ERC findings as gold standard.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After informed consent, patients will undergo standard care with blood tests and MRI/MRCP. While performing the MRI, additional sequences called LMS are performed. Thereafter, an ERCP will be performed. Approximately 8 weeks after ERCP, another MRI/MRCP and LMS will be performed. Also, blood tests will be performed and a clinician will evaluate the clinical condition and complaints of patients

Images will be coded and analysed by Perspectum to retrieve MRCP+ and LMS results.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Additional sequences and extra MRI

PSC patients, suspected for having a dominant stenosis, that undergo additional LMS sequences next to standard care MRI prior to ERCP and an additional MRI/MRCP with additional LMS sequences 8 weeks after ERCP.

MRI images will be analysed by the post-processing tool called MRCP+ and Liver Multiscan, which are performed after the MRI is performed.
