Figure 8 Comparison of the phase portraits obtained using the scalar values of fibrosis (%) calculated from each biopsy section, projected onto the state spaces. A: Knodell HAI; B: Sheuer; C: Ishak; and D: METAVIR categories (staging). All graphs highlight a considerable overlap of scalar data that corresponds to different categories. Forty-six cases for HAI, 34 for Sheuer, 10 for Ishak and 29 for METAVIR resulted uncertain to be classified in a unique category of severity.
