Abstract
Hepatic apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and ADC-related indices were correlated with the Mayo risk score for primary biliary cirrhosis (MRSPBC) and METAVIR scores of liver specimens to determine the clinical and pathological significance of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI).
