Diffusion-weighted imaging and texture analysis: current role for diffuse liver disease.
Multiparametric MRI represents the primary imaging modality to assess diffuse liver disease, both in a qualitative and in a quantitative manner. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is among the imaging techniques that can be used to assess fibrosis due to its unique capability to assess microstructural...

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is among the imaging techniques that can be used to assess fibrosis due to its unique capability to assess microstructural changes at the tissue level. DWI is based on water mobility patterns and has the potential to become a non-invasive and non-destructive virtual biopsy to assess diffuse liver disease, overcoming sampling bias errors due to its three-dimensional imaging capabilities. Parallel to DWI, another quantitative method called texture analysis may be used to assess early and advanced diffused liver disease through quantifying spatial relationships in a global and local level, applying to any type of digital imaging technique like MRI or CT. Initial results using texture analysis hold great promise. In the current paper, we will review the role of DWI and texture analysis using MR images in assessing diffuse liver disease. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
