Dynamic evolution of microstructure in thalamic subregions of patients with cirrhosis: A study based on diffusion kurtosis imaging

DKI can better detect the dynamic changes in the microstructure of the thalamus after HE and LT surgery. The decrease in DKI parameter in the HE group compared to the non-HE group may relate to neuronal apoptosis. lPFtha is the thalamic subregion where structural recovery first occurs 1-month after LT.
