MR Prediction of Liver Function and Pathology Using Gd-EOB-DTPA: Effect of Liver Volume Consideration

Table 1

Correlation coefficients between ΔLSR or ΔLSR × LV and the laboratory or pathologic data.

Parameter	LSR	LSR × LV	value
Plt	0.498	0.522	0.49
Alb	0.624	0.646	0.49
T-bil	0.364	0.330	0.40
LDH	0.238	0.244	0.88
ChE	0.577	0.649	<0.05
Child-Pugh score	−0.592	−0.641	0.12
MELD score	−0.471	−0.478	0.85
Fibrosis	−0.492	−0.383	<0.01
Necroinflammation	−0.451	−0.341	<0.01

The data are correlation coefficients. LSR: the liver-to-spleen ratio; LSR: the increase rate of LSR on the hepatobiliary phase compared with the precontrast image. Plt: platelet count; Alb: albumin; T-bil: total bilirubin; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; ChE: cholinesterase. LSR and LSR × LV were calculated as described in Section 2.
