Computer-assisted image analysis of liver collagen: Relationship to Ishak scoring and hepatic venous pressure gradient #

Abstract

CPA assessed by DIA correlated with Ishak stage scores and HVPG measured contemporaneously. CPA was a better histological correlate with HVPG than Ishak stage, had a greater numerical change when HVPG was low, and resulted in further quantitation of fibrosis in cirrhosis.
