Image analysis Liver and splenic attenuation measurements in HU were obtained by averaging two 1.0±0.1-cm2 circular region-of-interests (ROIs) placed above and below the main portal vein plane in both the unenhanced and portal venous phase contrast-enhanced images of each patient.

The one co-pay that wasn't paid was for my emergency room visit of January 3, 2012. I wasn't even asked for that because my emergency room co-pays have always been asked for during discharge from the ER.
