Assessment of diagnostic value of DWI technique in the evaluation of liver fibrosis
Introduction: The liver fibrosis is caused by extracellular accumulation of cluster, glycos amino glycans and proteoglycans, which this extracellular accumulation may limit the penetration and molecular movement of water in the tissue, so the Diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) technique is due to the sensitivity to the movement and release of water molecules Can show this restrict...
متن کاملDetermining 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 کاملNon-Invasive Evaluation of Cystic Fibrosis Related Liver Disease in Adults with ARFI, Transient Elastography and Different Fibrosis Scores
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease (CFLD) is present in up to 30% of cystic fibrosis patients and can result in progressive liver failure. Diagnosis of CFLD is challenging. Non-invasive methods for staging of liver fibrosis display an interesting diagnostic approach for CFLD detection. AIM We evaluated transient elastography (TE), acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI),...
متن کاملhe Effects of Rosmarinic Acid on the Liver Fibrosis Induced by Non-alco-holic Steatohepatitis in Male Mice
Background and Objectives: Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious and increasing liver dis-ease, which develops into cirrhosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Rosmarinic Acid (RA) is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the role of RA on a mouse model of NASH-induced liver fibrosis. Methods: In this research, C57/BL6 mi...
متن کاملSignal changes in liver, spleen and bone marrow at SPIO (Ferucarbotran) enhanced MR imaging in patients with liver cirrhosis, hepatitis and normal liver
PURPOSE: In the previous study, it has been reported that liver and spleen uptake of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) was significantly decreased at SPIO-enhanced MR imaging in cirrhotic patients. However, we have often encountered the cases with increased uptake of SPIO in the spleen in patients with cirrhosis. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the uptake of SPIO in the splee...
