Fig. 4From: Liver injury monitoring, fibrosis staging and inflammation grading using T1rho magnetic resonance imaging: an experimental study in rats with carbon tetrachloride intoxicationMR T1rho maps, HE, and reticular fiber staining of rat liver at S0 (38.21 ms, a1–3), S1 (46.08 ms, b1–3), S2 (57.51 ms, c1–3), S3 (53.72 ms, d1–3), and S4 (55.89 ms, e1–3). Liver T1rho values increased gradually with the progression of fibrosis; there were decreased at stage 3 (d), and maintained at stage 4 (e)Back to article page
