Research progress of Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI in the evaluation of liver function
Gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)is a liver-specific MRI contrast agent.In recent years,a large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI has great advantages in liver function assessment,which can not only accurately assess liver function in chronic liver diseases,but also be used to predict liver failure after liver resection.The review systematically describes the application status of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI in the diffuse lesions of the liver,such as nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases,liver fibrosis,cirrhosis and preoperative evaluation of residual liver function in patients with partial liver resection,and forecasts the future of Gd-EOB-DTPA.
