Usefulness of iodine-blood material density images in estimating degree of liver fibrosis by calculating extracellular volume fraction obtained from routine dual-energy liver CT protocol equilibrium phase data: preliminary experience

Purpose To assess whether extracellular volume fraction (ECV) calculated from iodine(-blood) density images (I-B) of dual-energy liver CT (DECT) equilibrium phase data (EqD) is useful in estimating the degree of liver fibrosis. Materials and methods Consecutive 52 patients with chronic liver disease...
