Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI in assessing liver reserve function in patients with normal liver function and abnormal liver function.Methods Totally 99 hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with abnormal liver function were classified into the following three groups,i.e.Child-Pugh A group (n=48),Child Pugh B group (n=40),Child Pugh C group (n=11),while 21 patients without chronic liver disease were taken as normal liver function group.All patients underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI.At 3 min,10 min and 20 min after intravenous administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA,the relative enhancement (RE) of whole liver and liver segments (S1-S8) was calculated,and the differences of liver RE were compared among different liver function groups and liver segments.Results At 3 min,10 min and 20 min after intravenous administration of Gd EOB-DTPA,the differences of whole liver RE and segmental liver RE among the Child Pugh A group,Child-Pugh B group,Child Pugh C group and normal liver function group were statistically different (all P<0.05).At 3 min,10 min and 20 min after injection,RE of normal liver function group and Child Pugh A group was significantly different among different liver segments (S1-S8).At 10 min and 20 min after injection,RE of Child-Pugh B group was significantly different among different liver segments,while at 20 min after injection,RE of Child-Pugh C group was significantly different among different liver segments.Conclusion Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI can accurately assess whole liver and segmental liver function.
