A study of T1 relaxation time as a measure of liver fibrosis and the influence of confounding histological factors (2015)
Journal Article
Hoad, C. L., Palaniyappan, N., Kaye, P., Chernova, Y., James, M. W., Costigan, C., …Aithal, G. P. (2015). A study of T1 relaxation time as a measure of liver fibrosis and the influence of confounding histological factors. NMR in Biomedicine, 28(6), 706-714. https://doi.org/10.1002/nbm.3299

Liver biopsy is the standard test for the assessment of fibrosis in liver tissue of patients with chronic liver disease. Recent studies have used a non‐invasive measure of T1 relaxation time to estimate the degree of fibrosis in a single slice of the...
