Abstract: Objective To discuss MRI manifestations of overlap syndrome of autoimmune liver diseases and the diagnostic value of the MRI .Methods Seven patients of overlap syndrome of autoimmune liver diseases were recruited .The MRI examination (inclu‐ding T1WI ,T2WI ,DWI and MRCP )were underwent on these patients .MR features of overlap syndrome were reviewed by two ra‐diologists by consensus .Two radiologists independently reviewed the studies in a blinded fashion .Results AIH/PBC 4 cases ,AIH/PSC 1 case ,PBC/PSC 1 case ,AIH/PBC/PSC 1 case was collected .MRI of AIH/PBC has the MRI feature of AIH and PBC .MRI of AIH/PSC has the MRI feature of AIH and PSC .MRI of PBC/PSC has the MRI feature of PBC and PSC .MRI feature of AIH/PBC/PSC has the MRI feature of AIH ,PBC and PSC .Conclusion If the patients who sufferd autoimmune liver diseases displayed the MIR images of other autoimmune liver diseases ,the patients were considered that had developed into overlap syndrome of autoim‐mune liver diseases .
