Article Synopsis
- The study compared various imaging and scoring methods, specifically liver and splenic volumetry (LV and SV) and extracellular volume (ECV) on CT scans, to estimate liver fibrosis (LF) in 45 patients with known fibrosis stages.
- While SV/BSA displayed a higher area under the curve (AUC) for cirrhosis estimation (F4), MELD was more effective for grading severe fibrosis (≥F3-4), and a combination of SV/BSA and MELD yielded the best results.
- No significant correlation was found between transient elastography and ECV, but MELD, APRI, and FIB-4 showed strong associations with liver fibrosis, highlighting the importance of
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and splenic volumetry (SV) for hepatic fibrosis (HF) prediction have been reported to be effective. Our purpose is to compare the HF prediction of IVIM and SV in 67 patients with pathologically staged HF. SV was divided by body surface area (BSA).
