Liver shape analysis using partial least squares regression-based statistical shape model: application for understanding and staging of liver fibrosis

ConclusionsThe proposed approach offered an explicit representation of commonly known as well as detailed shape variations associated with liver fibrosis stage. Thus, the application of PLSR-based SSM is feasible for understanding the shape variations associated with the liver fibrosis stage and predicting it.
