Diagnostic accuracy of intracellular uptake rates calculated using dynamic Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI for hepatic fibrosis stage.
To 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 semiquantitative metric, contrast enhancement index (CEI); and to assess variability of these parameters between liver regions. ⋯ 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017;45:1177-1185.
