OBJECTIVES: To evaluate MRI findings in @entity1 with @entity2835 ( @entity2835 ) and to determine the value of MRI in the diagnosis of @entity2835 and assessment of @entity1575 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study reviewed the prevalence of @entity854 seen in 45 @entity2835 @entity1 in the past four years, including 33 @entity1 who underwent liver biopsy. Correlation between the MRI findings and the pathological stage was determined. RESULTS: There were 33 @entity1 who underwent liver biopsy. Twenty-five @entity1 (75.8%) had non-homogeneous changes in the liver signal intensity, 25 (75.8%) had a periportal halo sign, and 29 (87.9%) had @entity3329 . The short axis of the enlarged lymph nodes was a mean of 1.2  0.3 cm. A strong positive correlation was observed between histological stage and the inhomogeneity of liver signal intensity (P<0.001). There were significant differences among the four histological stages based on the periportal halo sign (P=0.034), and the grading of the periportal halo sign was found to be significantly correlated with the histological stage (P<0.001). Grading of the periportal halo sign was significantly different at stage II versus III, and stage III versus IV; no significant difference was found between stages I and II. There were also no significant differences among the four histological states in the occurrence and size of enlarged lymph nodes (P=0.674 and P=0.394). CONCLUSION: MRI is valuable in the diagnosis of @entity2835 , and the periportal halo sign and liver signal intensity help to evaluate the degree of @entity1575 .
