Abstract:Objectives
To determine the value of periportal hyperintensity sign from gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA)-enhanced hepatobiliary phase (HBP) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Methods
A total of 199 cirrhotic patients who underwent Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MRI were divided into control group (n = 56) and decompensated cirrhosis group (n = 143). The presence of periportal hyperin… Show more
