Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) has been considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and follow‐up of primary sclerosing cholangitis, but it has been replaced by less invasive magnetic resonance imaging and cholangiopancreatography (MRI‐MRCP). However, the role of these two techniques in the evaluation of disease activity and severity needs to be elucidated.
