| Research Abstract |
R2* value, which represents iron deposition of the liver parenchyma, and ΔR2* and ΔR2 values, which represent differences in R2* and R2 values of the liver parenchyma before and after administration of SPIO, showed significant correlation with parameters obtained on Technetium-99m galactosyl serum albumin scintigraphy. However, they were no significant correlation with liver fibrosis and necro-inflammatory activity. Because Kupffer cells play an important role on the early stage of liver fibrogenesis, these cells may rather activate and increase phagocytotic function compared with normal condition and advanced stage of liver fibrosis.
