Abstract:
Assessing the stage of live fibrosis and cirrhosis has direct clinical implications for patient treatment options.Liver biopsy is typically considered as the gold standard, but it has limited clinical utility due to its invasiveness.In recent years, with the rapid development of CT hardware and software, CT has made important progress in the non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis and cir-rhosis at home and abroad.This review focuses on clinical application of of contrast-enhanced CT, CT perfusion imaging, dual-energy CT and CT molecular imaging for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
