BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: White matter abnormalities have been demonstrated to
play an important role in minimal hepatic encephalopathy. In this study, we aimed to …

Purpose To evaluate the ability of neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging
(NODDI) for detecting white matter (WM) microstructural abnormalities in minimal hepatic …

Objectives Low-grade cerebral oedema is considered to be pathognomonic of minimal
hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in cirrhotic patients. The purpose of this study was to …

BACKGROUND: White matter (WM) abnormalities are common in cirrhotic patients and
possibly contribute to hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a frequent neuropsychiatric …

Objective To prevent the development of overt hepatic encephalopathy, the early
intervention for minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) based on an accurate diagnosis is …

Background & aims The thalamus is a major relay and filter station in the central neural
system. Some previous studies have suggested that the thalamus maybe implicated in the …

Purpose To investigate the diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in early minimal hepatic
encephalopathy (MHE) diagnosis and evaluate the correlations between changes in DKI …

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is characterized by diffuse abnormalities in cerebral
structure, such as reduced cortical thickness and altered brain parenchymal volume. This …

Purpose To quantify the changes in brain water diffusivity in hepatic encephalopathy (HE)
associated with cirrhosis using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to correlate with …

Abstract Background & Aims Focal white matter lesions mimicking microvascular lesions
were connected to the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with …
