Earlier this year I participated in a study at Oxford where an MRI scan looked at my liver.  I am pretty certain that I posted about this at the time.

I have just received an update from Perspectum Diagnostics, the link above should take you to the article if you want to have a look.  Although not specifically citing PBC this is a step forward from the painful and possibly hit and miss biopsy.
