Diagnostic accuracy of the attenuation value in abdominal contrast enhanced dynamic multi-detector-row computed tomography for esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis
Purpose: To investigate whether the attenuation value obtained by subtracting the CT value obtained from abdominal dynamic contrast enhanced (ADCE)-MDCT imaging of the equilibrium phase from the value obtained from that of the portal phase in hepatic parenchyma is useful in distinguishing normal liv...
