Abstract：Hepatic fibrosis is a common pathological process in various chronic liver diseases,and its early diagnosis and accurate assessment are crucial for treatment and prognosis.Traditional liver biopsy has limitations such as invasiveness and sampling errors,while the development of non-invasive imaging techniques has provided new means for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis.This article reviews the principles,advantages and disadvantages,and clinical applications of non-invasive imaging methods such as elastography,dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging,and molecular imaging.It also explores technological innovations such as AI-driven analytical methods and multimodal data fusion,as well as emerging technologies and future development directions.These new technologies are expected to improve the diagnostic accuracy of hepatic fibrosis,reduce equipment costs,simplify operational procedures,and promote the development of personalized medicine.
