In patients with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, contrast-enhanced dual-source dual-energy CT has shown to be a feasible method for the assessment of hepatic fractional extracellular space

According to a new research from an Italian group, dual-source dual-energy CT may provide an
innovative non-invasive approach to assess the expansion of the extracellular space occurring in
patients with hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis. In this study, this technique has proven to be feasible and
reliable.
