Table 3 Hepatic parenchymal changes and pathology results in the patients with MR elastography
Hepatic parenchymal changes on imaging | Pathology findings (fibrosis grade) | |
|---|---|---|
Case 1 (3.2 kPa) | Patchy arterial phase hyperenhancement Hyperintense signal changes on DWI Diffusely reduced signal in the hepatobiliary phase | Mild portal and periportal fibrosis without bridging septae (F1) |
Case 2 (4.2 kPa) | Patchy reduced signal in the hepatobiliary phase | Portal fibrosis, mild pericentral and pericellular fibrosis without bridging septae (F1) |
Case 3 (6.4 kPa) | Patchy arterial phase hyperenhancement Patchy peripheral and subcapsular hyperintense signal changes on T2-weighted images Patchy reduced signal in the hepatobiliary phase Rounded liver contours Caudate lobe hypertrophy | N/A |
Case 4 (11.4 kPa) | Patchy arterial phase hyperenhancement Caudate lobe hypertrophy | Portal and pericellular fibrosis without bridging septae (F1) |
