The assessment of liver surface nodularity (LSN) is emerging importance to diagnose hepatic fibrotic changes in clinical. The imaging techniques MRI and CT are gold-standard methods to estimate LSN scores. However, in clinical practice, the manual LSN assessment of whole liver is time-consuming. Therefore, it is powerful for assessing LSN score from a single slice image instead of whole liver images. This study compared the regional variation of LSN score for assessing fibrotic changes on a single liver MR image in chronic liver disease (CLD).
