| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have successfully applied a computer-aided analysis of hepatic contour that was highly accurate in diagnosing hepatic fibrosis stages F3 and F4. We also determined that the computer-generated, hepatic morphological index expressed as HFI was highly predictive for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis C. This index may serve as an important biomarker for clinical management of these patients.
