Abstract：Liver fibrosis is the connective tissue hyperplasia caused by a variety of pathogenic factors. Liver fibrosis occurs in the course of injured liver repair , and the process of fibrosis will keep on and develop into liver cirrhosis if the damage factor exists for a long time. This disease is reversible after appropriate intervention in the early-stage. Early quantitative diagnosis of liver fibrosis is of great significance for the clinical treatment decision making and the promotion of inversion. With the development of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging and the upgrading of magnetic resonance equipment and technology, the noninvasive quantitative diagnosis and stage of hepatic fibrosis has progressed greatly. In this paper, we reviewed the progress in quantitatively diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis with magnetic resonance intravoxel incoherent motions imaging.
