Abstract:
Early diagnosis and accurate stage of liver fibrosis are important for conducting the clinic therapy and assessing the therapeutic outcome. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as a noninvasive and effective method, plays an important role in diagnosis and stage of liver fibrosis. This review focuses on the advances in fMRI evaluation of liver fibrosis.
