Physiologically realistic and validated mathematical liver model reveals [corrected] hepatobiliary transfer rates for Gd-EOB-DTPA using human DCE-MRI data.
OBJECTIVES: Diffuse liver disease (DLD), such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH) and cirrhosis, is a rapidly growing problem throughout the Westernized world. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), based on uptake of the hepatocyte-specific contrast agent (CA) Gd-EOB-DTPA, is a promising non-inv...
