Recent Advances in Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Liver Fibrosis

Figure 3

MR-DWI in a normal and cirrhotic liver ( value 600 s/mm²). DWI images are shown in the far left column. The middle column shows ADC maps superimposed on the corresponding anatomic images. The exponential ADC maps are shown in the far right column. The ADC maps show that the mean ADC value of the cirrhotic liver is lower than that of the normal liver (1.12 × 10⁻³ mm²/s versus 1. 27 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, resp.).
