Functional liver parenchyma can be damaged from treatment of liver malignancies with 90Y selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). Evaluating functional parenchymal changes and …
Early identification of kidney function deterioration is essential to determine which newborn patients with congenital kidney disease should be considered for surgical intervention as …
Dynamic gadoxetic acid‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the investigation of liver function through the observation of the perfusion and uptake of contrast …
Purpose Abdominal dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI suffers from motion‐induced artifacts that can blur images and distort contrast‐agent uptake curves. For liver perfusion …
Purpose Respiratory motion can affect pharmacokinetic perfusion parameters quantified from liver dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI. Image registration can be used to align dynamic …
Background Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) produces excellent local control for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the risk of toxicity for normal liver …
