Abstract:
Surgical resection is the best treatment for hepatocarcinoma. With the rapid development and cooperation of multi-disciplines, the liver surgery gradually towards a precise stage, and accurate evaluation of regional liver function preoperatively is demand for the development of precise liver surgery. Methods to assess function of liver at present include serological liver function and biochemical examination, clinical liver function scoring system, quantitative liver function test and imaging examination. Nuclide imaging technology and liver specificity enhanced MRI contrast agent are expected to achieve to evaluate regional liver function.
