Fig. 4From: Viscoelastic parameters derived from multifrequency MR elastography for depicting hepatic fibrosis and inflammation in chronic viral hepatitisScatter plots represent measurement of c and φ, assessed with mMRE, in patients with different fibrosis and inflammation stages. The lower and upper borders correspond to the first and third quartiles (the maximum and minimum value). The Boxplots (A) illustrated that no significant difference in c values at match fibrosis stages was found between no active inflammation (G0-1) group and active inflammation (G2-4) group (p > 0.05). The boxplots (B) illustrate there were significant difference in φ values at each inflammation stage between no advanced fibrosis (S0-3) group and advanced fibrosis (S3-4) group (G4, borderline statistical significance, p = 0.059)Back to article page
