Diffuse Liver Disease Other Than Cirrhosis: Structural and Functional Imaging

MRI of diffuse liver disease: the common and uncommon etiologies.

Diffuse liver disease, including all causes of chronic liver disease, affects tens of millions of people worldwide. There is a growing need for diagnostic evaluation as treatments become more readily available, particularly for viral liver disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides unique capabilities for noninvasive characterization of liver tissue that rival or surpass the diagnostic ...

Ultrasound backscatter and attenuation in human liver with diffuse disease.

Ultrasound backscatter and attenuation in the liver were measured in patients with diffuse liver disease and in 35 volunteers who had no history of liver ailments. Measurements were done using radiofrequency (RF) echo signals derived from a clinical scanner; a reference phantom was scanned to account for effects of gain, transmit-receive frequency response and transducer beam patterns on echo d...
