Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis Using Texture Analysis on Combined-Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Images at 3.0T

Figure 2

Combined contrast enhanced (CCE) MR images at various stages of fibrosis. CCE MR images in adults with chronic HCV infection and histologically determined Metavir fibrosis stages F0, F1, F2, F3, and F4. Subjectively, the reticular texture of the liver parenchyma becomes progressively more pronounced with increasing Metavir fibrosis stage.
