The utility of apparent diffusion coefficient values in predicting liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: We aimed to determine the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values obtained from diffusion-weighted images, histopathological fibrosis, and activity stages in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. 
 Material Method: A total of 30 admitted our hospital September 2012 June 2014 were included study. All underwent biopsy abdomen MRI examination before treatment. Diffusion examinations at five different b-values (50, 300, 500, 700, 1000 s/mm2) added abdominal examination. Results: The hepatic ADC all negatively correlated fibrosis (p

Determining the progression stages of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
Introduction: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to liver fibrosis, its failure, and death in the long term. The stage of fibrosis in CHB patients can also be detected based on the biochemical markers. The aim of this study was to predict the state of liver fibrosis in CHB patients and determine the possibility of patients shifting from a given state to another one. Materials and Methods: This stu...
متن کاملthe role of m30 in predicting the severity of liver fibrosis and inflammation in chronic hepatitis b patients
conclusions m30 levels were higher in cvhb patients compared to healthy controls. however, m30 levels were similar in the mild and moderate stages of fibrosis, so they did not indicate the severity of underlying fibrotic or inflammatory processes in cvhb patients. results the mean ages of patients and controls were 39.7 and 45.7 years, respectively, and 35% of the controls and 52% of the patien...
متن کاملThe additional utility of apparent diffusion coefficient values of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma for predicting metastasis during clinical staging
BACKGROUND The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value is known to be an indicator of tumor activity. The ADC value of high-grade clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is significantly lower than that of low-grade clear-cell RCC. PURPOSE To investigate the utility of ADC values of clear-cell RCC by comparing ADC values between groups with T1a RCC (tumor size ≤ 4 cm) without metastasis and ...
متن کاملLiver Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Changes during Telaprevir-Based Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become an established diagnostic modality for the evaluation of liver parenchymal changes in diseases such as diffuse liver fibrosis. AIMS To evaluate the parenchymal apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) changes using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) during telaprevir-based triple therapy. STUDY DESIGN Diagnostic accuracy study. METHOD...
متن کاملUtility of diffusion-weighted MRI for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic active hepatitis.
PURPOSE We evaluated the utility of quantitative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for assessing both the relationship between the degree of fibrosis and the histological activity index (HAI) in chronic hepatitis (CH) cases and attempted to determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) could be used as a reference for the degree of fibrosis detected by hi...
