Estimating liver function in a large cirrhotic cohort: Signal intensity of gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid-enhanced MRI

Background To assess whether gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid-enhanced MRI study is useful to estimate liver function in comparison to the presence or absence of cirrhosis, Child Pugh (CP), Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD), ALBI scores and biochemical test. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced-MRI studies performed between 2010 and 2016 in patients with focal liver lesions...
