Synopsis

Plenty of etiologies of diffuse liver disease eventually result in liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is exceedingly common worldwide prompting the clinical need for objective noninvasive methods for disease characterization as an alternative or complement to gold-standard liver biopsy. The learning objectives of this educational session are • To summarize qualitative imaging findings of liver fibrosis in US, CT and MRI • To know the advantages and drawbacks of each modality • To learn how to report the presence of liver fibrosis
