Fig. 2 Top row: 58-year-old patient with non-cirrhotic liver. Bottom row, 45-year-old patient with liver cirrhosis secondary to chronic hepatitis C. Liver surface nodularity drawings (green line) on (A and F) non-contrast CT, (B and G) contrast-enhanced CT, (C and H) axial T2W HASTE, (D and I) axial post-contrast T1W obtained in the hepatobiliary phase (HBP), and (E and J) coronal post-contrast T1W HBP. Higher LSN scores are seen with increased surface nodularity in the cirrhotic liver.
