Figures
- FIGURE 1.
Receiver operating characteristic curves for volume, %ID/cm3, and total uptake for liver and spleen.
- FIGURE 2.
Relationship between total liver uptake and Child–Pugh chronic liver disease classification. These parameters correlate inversely and are statistically significant.
- FIGURE 3.
Relationship between liver volumes and Child–Pugh chronic liver disease classification. These parameters correlate poorly and are statistically significant.
