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

Figure 6

Regions-of-interest on CCE MR images in four subjects. Regions-of-interest drawn on CCE MR images in four representative subjects. Average Metavir (and individual reader METAVIR) and %-collagen scores are shown. Subjectively, high-signal reticular texture becomes increasingly conspicuous and disorganized with increasing Metavir and %-collagen scores. CCE: combined contrast enhanced.
