Phase-contrast computed tomography: A correlation study between portal pressure and three dimensional microvasculature of ex vivo liver samples from carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in rats

ConclusionsPCCT technique demonstrates outstanding potential for 3D visualization of microvasculature in liver fibrosis. Microvascular changes in fibrotic livers may serve as a new surrogate histopathological marker in evaluating portal pressures or prognosing portal hypertension.
