Liver DTI metrics consistency is closely related to its
usefulness in treatment outcome evaluation and disease
monitoring. In this study, the inter-session and
intra-session repeatability of DT metrics were
evaluated. Based on our results, liver DT metrics were
repeatable (for both inter-session and intra-session)
when large ROI was used. Also, no improvement in DT
metrics repeatability was observed when number of
gradient directions increased.
