Evaluation of Hepatoprotective Effect of Curcumin on Liver Cirrhosis Using a Combination of Biochemical Analysis and Magnetic Resonance-Based Electrical Conductivity Imaging

Figure 2

Typical MREIT images of two liver phantoms. (a and d) Phantom consisted of four liver blocks including normal control, DMN-only, DMN with lactulose, and DMN with curcumin. (b and e) MR magnitude images provide morphological information on the liver phantom. (c and f) Electrical conductivity images of liver tissue indicate contrast information depending on their tissue condition.
