Fig. 2 Two representative examples of three-dimensional reconstruction of bridging fibrosis (A,B). Insets show artist's (AH) reconstruction of the bridging fibrosis. Journal of Hepatology 2003 39, 738-741DOI: (10.1016/S0168-8278(03)00413-6)

Fig. 3 The relationship between the bile duct diameter and the fibrosis ratio (diameter of the portal tract/diameter of the bile duct). In the setting of no fibrosis (open circles) the ratio is fairly consistent for a range of bile duct diameters. In contrast, the case with portal and bridging fibrosis (dark circles) shows a distinct peak at about 18–19 μm in bile duct diameter.
