Quantitative Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis on Multiparametric MRI

Early diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis can repress or delay the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate non-invasive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in the detection and grading of liver fibrosis, so that patients can be treated in time. These techniques combined could reach high diagnostic performance for detection of liver fibrosis, and could decrease the number of liver biopsies.
