Quantitative Measurement of Hepatic Fibrosis with Gadoxetic Acid-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Infection: A Comparative Study on Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index and Fibrosis-4 Index.

CONCLUSION: Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging for calculating a CV map showed moderate correlation with APRI and FIB-4 values and could be employed to quantitatively measure hepatic fibrosis in patients with CHB. PMID: 28458596 [PubMed - in process]
