Abstract

The study was conducted in agreement with the Declaration of Helsinki and with the approval of the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Ulm (AZ: 409/15), the authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms. Besides the EMUC-CT calcification pattern, the overall degree of calcification was rated as “none,” “slight,” “moderate,” or “considerable,” in order to assess the course of disease more comprehensively. Independent of the time course, the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.5744) interestingly indicates a moderate to strong relationship between the mean number of lesions and the mean lesion size of the different primary morphological types: the more lesions there are present in one liver the smaller they are.
