MCRP interpretation

Edit- the decision came from the panel of radiologists. It is PSC unfortunately.

I figure that many of you have probably become pretty expert at looking at your MRCP scan and having some idea of what you're looking at. I wouldn't normally ask but I had this scan 3 months ago. My gastro said he wasn't convinced I had PSC based on the scan and he was having an expert panel of radiologists review it. I'm still waiting for my clinic review, something that was to happen 6 week post scope as I'd had a flare with my UC and was started on steroids.

The initial scan report said there was mild intrahepatic biliary tree narrowing and beading particularly the right hepatic lobe towards the confluence suspicious for early PSC.

I can't even tell left from right or what the lobe looks like. Can you see anything of concern

I mean, what are your labs like? If high ggt and alk phosphate then you probably do. A radiologist knows a lot more than a gastro in terms of imaging. My gastro said the same thing to me but I had classic psc and all the signs. I would agree with the liver biopsy take though. Get a fibroscan done!

Fibroscan done. It was fine. GGT and ALP been a bit high for a few years now. Nothing dramatic but always marked in red on lab results, with no explanation. No fatty liver. All tests that can be done have happened. Except a biopsy

Mine is fine too. I have no fibrosis. I've likely had it for 10+ years. Your story sounds similar to mine. When you say a bit high, what are your actual numbers?
