Quantitative multiparametric MRI as a non-invasive stratification tool in children and adolescents with autoimmune liver disease
Abstract Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis (ASC) are two very closely related autoimmune liver diseases with overlapping clinical features and similar management strategies. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of quantitative imaging markers to distingu...
