Diffusion-weighted MRI and fibroscan vs. histopathology for assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic HCV patients: (Pilot study)

Diffusion-weighted MRI and fibroscan vs. histopathology for assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic HCV patients: (Pilot study)

Introduction: HCV infection is responsible for liver fibrosis. Fibroscan and diffusion MRI have been proposed for non-invasive diagnosis and staging of hepatic fibrosis. Aim of the work: To assess the accuracy of diffusion MRI and/or fibroscan in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis as compared to histop...
