Liver fibrosis staging using T1 mapping on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI compared with DW imaging

•We compared the results of T1 relaxation time measurement with DWI-ADC measurement on evaluating the liver fibrosis stages(S)/necroinflammatory activity grade(G) scores. •T1 relaxation time measurements on Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging might be a potential biomarker in staging of hepatic fibrosis. •T1 relaxation time measurements on Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging were more accuracy than ADC measurement. Aim To evaluate the utility of...
