Abstract:
Noninvasive methods for the evaluation of liver fibrosis have been widely validated with liver biopsy as the gold standard. This article elaborates on the application of various imaging methods in the evaluation of liver fibrosis and their prospects in evaluating the reversal of liver fibrosis. Transient elastography is the main imaging method for evaluating the reversal of liver fibrosis and can show the improvement in liver fibrosis via liver stiffness measurement, but the association between the reduction in liver stiffness measurement and the improvement of liver fibrosis remains unclear.
