Motivation • Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a major public health problem • Final stage is cirrhosis, which in most cases evolves to hepatocellularcarcinoma • Liver transplantation is the solution for end-stage cirrhosis, thus, a reliable prognostic model for organ allocation on liver transplantation waiting list is of key importance! • Model for End-stage Liver Disease(MELD) is a common score, used in clinical practice to estimate the prognostic outcome of cirrhotic patients, based on laboratory results. 6th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, IbPRIA 2013, Madeira, Portugal
In this work, a novel method is proposed to estimate the MELD score based on textural information extracted from normalized ultrasound (US) images ofliver parenchyma 6th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, IbPRIA 2013, Madeira, Portugal

Discussion and Conclusions • Stepwise regression model selected two US features (a1,1 ψ1 andContrast (-1,-1)), that best describes the heterogeneous pattern of cirrhotic livers. • The linear model achieved the best performance with a low RMSE and high R-square. • In conclusion, a new and objective algorithm as been proposed for the assessment of cirrhotic patients outcomes based on US liver images. 6th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, IbPRIA 2013, Madeira, Portugal
