Abstract

In clinical course of the chronic liver disease, the liver finally develops liver cirrhosis from the state of the chronic hepatitis. In the process, the patients are complicated with esophagogastric varices due to the portal hypertension and a hepatocellular carcinoma. It is very useful to be diagnosed using MDCT morphologically. A quantitative assessment has been tried from the CT images of the liver. A morphologic diagnosis of the chronic liver disease using the CT and a quantitative assessment are described in this article.
