Magnetic resonance imaging in type I IgG4-sclerosing cholangitis (Type I IgG4-SC), isolated IgG4-sclerosing cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and recurrent pyogenic cholangitis (isolated IgG4-SC).

Type IgG4-SCa Isolated IgG4-SC PSC [93] Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis
Type1: involvement of lower part of bile duct only
Type 2a: involvement of distal bile duct and intrahepatic bile
duct with proximal dilation
Type 2b: involvement of distal bile duct and diffuse
intrahepatic bile duct without proximal dilation
Type 3: involvement of distal bile duct and ducts at hepatic hilum
Type 4: involvement of ducts at hepatic hilum only
Absence of intra-hepatic bile ducts, bile duct lesions. Cholangiographic findings based on Nakazawa classificationa Ductal irregularities of the intra- and extra hepatic biliary tree. Stenosis and saccular dilations (beaded appearance).
Pruned-tree appearance at chronic stage
Dilated intrahepatic bile ducts, bile duct strictures, calculi within dilated bile ducts and morphologic changes like atrophy
a

Nakazawa classification [92].
