Research advances of molecular probes for early diagnosis of liver fibrosis / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Early liver fibrosis is reversible and curable. Therefore, early diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis are of great clinical significance. Targeting at the abnormal expression molecules in development of liver fibrosis, molecular probes are constructed as precise and non-invasive methods to integrate the information of human physiological and pathological metabolism, which is beneficial to early and specific diagnosis of fibrosis. The advances in molecular probes for early diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis were reviewed in this article,
