  • Liver fibrosis is a repair response to liver damage caused by various factors, as well as an intermediate stage between chronic liver diseases and liver cirrhosis. The development of liver fibrosis is a latent, gradual, and reversible process. Timely, accurate diagnosis of liver fibrosis is of great significance for the treatment outcome and prognosis of patients. With the development of imaging techniques, noninvasive quantitative diagnosis of liver fibrosis has attracted more and more attention. Various techniques of CT and MR for diagnosis of liver fibrosis are summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages are compared between these techniques. Our results show that CT and MR can be used for quantitative assessment of liver fibrosis and that MR is very likely to be used instead of invasive biopsy in the future due to its advantages of no radiation, high resolution, and good repeatability.
