L-distance ratio: a new distance ratio-based evaluation method for the diagnosis of cirrhosis using enhanced computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early detection of liver cirrhosis is of great significance to the formulation of treatment plans and improving prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used in the assessment of patients with chronic liver disease. In this study, we proposed a new distance ratio method for accurate diagnosis of cirrhosis using CT images.

Methods

This was a retrospective study of a consecutive series of patients in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. Sixty-two patients with pathologically diagnosed cirrhosis but whose morphologic changes were insufficient to diagnose cirrhosis were included in the cirrhosis group. Those who were pathologically confirmed to be free of cirrhosis and fibrosis and without a history of chronic hepatic were classified as the control group. A
