Development and diagnosis of ACLF. ac Serial changes in hepatic signal intensity on CT imaging. High attenuation (90–100 HU) following (a) the use of amiodarone and (b) periportal edema in ACLF. c Low attenuation (50 HU) of liver parenchyma 2 years prior to exposure to amiodarone. d FDG-PET scanning demonstrated focal hypermetabolic hepatic lesions in both lobes, with a maximum standardized uptake value of 8.8 (arrow). e, f Histopathological examination showed (e) suppurative microabscesses (dotted frame) and (f) numerous Mallory-Denk bodies in the periseptal hepatocytes
