  1. Median (interquartile range) values are reported for functional liver volume (FLV), mean liver-to-spleen uptake ratio, and total liver function for Child-Turcotte-Pugh class A and B/C groups. Statistically significant differences between CTP classes were estimated by Wilcoxon rank-sum testing (α = 0.05)
