Multiparametric CT for Noninvasive Staging of Hepatitis C Virus–Related Liver Fibrosis: Correlation With the Histopathologic Fibrosis Score

Abstract

Multiparametric CT assessment of HCV-related liver fibrosis further improves performance over the performance of individual parameters. An abbreviated panel of LSN score and FIB-4 score approached the diagnostic performance of more exhaustive panels. Results of the abbreviated panel compare favorably with elastography, but this approach has the advantage of retrospective assessment using preexisting data without planning.
