Hepatic enhancement and signal intensity analysis on magnetic resonance imaging as prognostic biomarkers in advanced chronic liver disease

Figure 2 Segmental native signal intensity across different Functional Liver Imaging Score categories. A: Native signal intensity (SI) segment VI; B: Native SI segment VIII; C: Native SI caudate lobe. Box plots illustrate native SI measured in liver segment VI (A), segment VII (B), and the caudate lobe (C). A significant increase in segmental SI was observed between Functional Liver Imaging Score (FLIS) 2 and FLIS 6 in all three regions (P = 0.01 for segments VI and caudate lobe, P = 0.03 for segment VII). Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s honest significant difference post-hoc test.
