Quantification of liver fibrosis: extracellular volume fraction using an MRI bolus-only technique in a rat animal model

Abstract Background To determine the utility of single-contrast-bolus hepatic extracellular volume (ECV) fraction measurement at different time points to detect and quantify hepatic fibrosis. Methods Different grades of liver fibrosis were induced in 23 male Sprague-Dawley rats by carbon-tetrachlori...
