Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced MRI T1 mapping,R2*quantitative parameters,and their combined indicators in assessing liver function in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods The data from 52 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI and modified Dixon quantification(mDixon-Quant)scans were analyzed retrospectively.Patients were divided into three groups based on Child-Pugh scores:Child-Pugh A,B,and C.T1 mapping images were obtained pre,mid,and HBP.Quantitative values of T1 relaxation time reduction rates(△T1 mid and △T1 HBP),liver-related T1 relaxation times(T1 pre,T1 mid,and T1 HBP),fat fraction(FF),and R2* were measured and calculated.One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in MRI quantitative parameters between different Child-Pugh grading groups.Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlation between MRI quantitative parameters and Child-Pugh grading.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the performance of distinguishing liver function classification by statistically significant MRI parameters.Results Between different Child-Pugh grading groups,the differences in T1 mid,T1 HBP,△T1 mid,△T1 HBP,and R2*were statistically significant(P＜0.05),however T1 pre and FF were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).T1 mid,T1 HBP and R2*were positively correlated with Child-Pugh grading(rs=0.365,0.566,0.597,respectively;P＜0.05),meanwhile △T1 mid and△T1 HBP were negatively correlated with Child-Pugh grading(rs=-0.680,-0.771,respectively;P＜0.05).There were no significant correlations between T1 pre,FF and Child-Pugh grading(P＞0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of T1 HBP,△T1 mid,△T1 HBP,R2*and their combined indicators for distinguishing Child-Pugh A grade from Child-Pugh B grade were about 0.888,0.784,0.955,0.764,and 0.961,respectively(P＜0.05).The AUC of △T1 mid,△T1 HBP,R2* and their combined indicators for distinguishing Child-Pugh B grade from Child-Pugh C grade were about 0.853,0.860,0.797,and 0.941,respectively(P＜0.05).Conclusion Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI T1 mapping and R2*quantitative parameters can be used to independently evaluate the status of liver function in hepatitis B cirrhosis,and the combined evaluation of the two kinds of parameters has a higher diagnostic efficiency.
