Magnetic resonance T1 mapping before and after Gd-EOB-DTPA administration allows quantification of the T1 reduction rate as a non-invasive surrogate marker of liver function. A major limitation of T1 relaxation time measurement is its dependency on MRI field strengths. Since T1 reduction rate is calculated as the relative shortening of T1 relaxation time before and after contrast administration, we hypothesized that the T1 reduction rate is comparable between 1.5 and 3��T. We thus compared liver T1 relaxation times between 1.5 and 3��T in a total of 243 consecutive patients (124, 1.5��T and 119, 3��T) between 09/2018 and 07/2019. T1 reduction rates were compared between patients with no cirrhosis and patients with cirrhosis Child-Pugh A-C. There was no significant difference of T1 reduction rate between 1.5 and 3��T in any patient group (p-value 0.126-0.861). On both 1.5��T and 3��T, T1 reduction rate allowed to differentiate between patients with no cirrhosis and patients with liver cirrhosis Child A-C (p��� |
