Verena C. Obmann1
1Inselspital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland
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
