Diagnostic Accuracy of Intracellular uptake rates calculated using Dynamic Gd-EOB-DTPA–Enhanced MRI for hepatic fibrosis stage

摘要

PurposeTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of intracellular uptake rates (Ki), and other quantitative pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, for hepatic fibrosis stage; to compare this accuracy with a previously published semi-quantitative metric, contrast enhancement index (CEI); and to assess variability of these parameters between liver regions.
