Evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic hepatitis C by EOB-MRI

Figure 1 Cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence stratified by liver-intervertebral disc ratio. Cumulative occurrence rates increased gradually in an LI-independent manner. LI: Liver-intervertebral disc ratio.

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve evaluating the cumulative incidence of liver-intervertebral disc ratio, aspartate amino transferase-to-platelet ratio index, Fib-4, and Forn’s index. APRI: Aspartate amino transferase-to-platelet ratio index; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging.

Figure 3 Relationship between cumulative occurrence rates and liver-intervertebral disc ratio (A), cumulative occurrence rates and serum α-fetoprotein level (B). A: Occurrence rates with LI < 1.46 were significantly higher than those with LI ≥ 1.46; B: Occurrence rates with serum AFP ≥ 10 ng/mL were significantly higher than in those with serum AFP < 10 ng/mL. LI: Liver-intervertebral disc ratio; AFP: α-fetoprotein.
