Research Abstract |
We performed perfusion analysis of the liver after giving 5-mL gadolinium-chelate contrast material. After obtaining conventional dynamic. MR imaging of the liver, single-level cine. MR imaging was performed with 5-mL gadolinium contrast for perfusion analysis with dual-input-one-compartment model. We obtained hepatic blood flow ; hepatic, blood volume, mean transit time, and arterial-portal fraction. We evaluated if preceding dynamic MR imaging did not hamper the efficacy of subsequent perfusion imaging. We used algorithm of dual-input one-compartment model (Materne R, et. al. Magn Reson Med 2002 ; 47:135) for perfusion analysis. Several parameters derived from the analysis were correlated with clinical stages of chronic liver damage or cirrhosis, pathological stage of hepatic fibrosis, Child-Pugh score, and ICG15 test value. We found that our methodology for MR perfusion nalysis reflected the degree of hepatic fibrosis to a certain extent. We still need to solve some problems in the technical aspects to increase the accuracy of this technique.
