We have previously shown that the hepatic functional parameters (hepatic extraction fraction (HEF) and mean residence time (MRT)) obtained with deconvolution analysis at gadoxetate-enhanced MRI correlate with the expression of the oatp/mrp transporters in liver cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to assess if a multicompartmental model of hepatocytic transport gives further insight into the expression of the oatp/mrp transporters in liver cirrhosis. Both methods were evaluated in normal and cirrhotic rats through calculation of Akaike criteria and multiple regression analysis. The superiority of a multicompartmental relative to a deconvolution model remains here to be proven.
