Core Tip	Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is frequently associated with hyperplasia of lymph nodes in the hepatic hilum, and the enlarged lymph nodes can be a good indicator for inflammatory activity of the liver. Enlarged perihepatic lymph nodes for the patients with CHB can be sensitively demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging, especially fat suppressed T2-weighted imaging. The numbers and size indexes of lymph nodes larger than 5 mm in shortest diameter suggest inflammatory activity for subjects with grade 2 or higher, with a high accuracy of diagnosis at a cutoff value of 2 for the numbers or 180 mm2 for the size indexes of lymph nodes.
