The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing, with this trend expected to
continue to the year 2030. Hepatocarcinogenesis follows a predictable course, which makes …

Background Only sparse literature investigates the reproducibility and repeatability of
relaxometry methods in MRI. However, statistical data on reproducibility and repeatability of …

Liver fibrosis features excessive protein accumulation in the liver interstitial space resulting
from repeated tissue injury due to chronic liver disease. Liver fibrosis eventually proceeds to …

Purpose To compare liver stiffness measurements obtained from MR elastography with liver
T1 relaxation times obtained from T1 mapping and T2 relaxation times obtained from T2 …

Purpose To evaluate potential confounding factors in the quantitative assessment of liver
fibrosis and cirrhosis using T1 relaxation times. Methods The study population is based on a …

Magnetic resonance T1 mapping before and after Gd-EOB-DTPA administration allows
quantification of the T1 reduction rate as a non-invasive surrogate marker of liver function. A …

The development of an effective method for staging liver fibrosis has always been a hot topic
of research in the field of liver fibrosis. In this paper, PEGylated ultrafine superparamagnetic …

Hepatic dysfunction represents a wide spectrum of pathological changes, which can be
frequently found in hepatitis, cholestasis, metabolic diseases, and focal liver lesions. As …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for the staging
of liver fibrosis by meta-analysis. Methods PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, the Web of Science …

Purpose: The staging of liver fibrosis is clinically important, and a less invasive method is
preferred. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has shown a great potential in …
