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

Figure 5 Variation in mean global hepatic enhancement according to the Functional Liver Imaging Score. Box plots illustrate a progressive increase in global hepatic enhancement with a higher Functional Liver Imaging Score (FLIS) (F = 28.06, P < 0.001). Tukey’s honest significant difference post hoc analysis confirmed significant differences between lower and higher FLIS groups (e.g., FLIS 1-3 vs FLIS 4-6). However, no significant differences were observed between adjacent categories, such as FLIS 1 vs 2 and FLIS 2 vs 3.
