Studies have sought to use changes in hepatic apparent
diffusion coefficient (ADC) as an imaging biomarker for
the assessment of the degree of fibrosis. In this study,
the effect of a high-caloric food intake on ADC was
investigated. The result showed that ADC(b =
0,1000s/mm2) and ADC(b = 200,1000s/mm2) increased
following a 1090kcal meal ingestion.
