Table 3. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Patients.

Image quality and biliary excretion scores for the clinical studies. Image quality scores in these 51 cases did not differ from the image quality scores in the healthy subjects (p=0.54). The image quality and biliary excretion scores were not significantly affected by the total bilirubin level (p=0.14 and p=0.09, respectively).

		Image Quality				Mean	Biliary Excretion				Mean	Segmental non-excretion

All Patients	51	0	11	11	29	2.35 ± 0.82	5	2	4	40	2.55 ± 0.97	10 (20%)
Patients with Serum bilirubin	28	0	7	8	13	2.21 ± 0.83	3	0	2	23	2.61 ± 0.96	6 (21%)
