Hepatic tissue hypoxia is a significant indicator of
cellular dysfunction in liver diseases and may predict
the outcome of interventions. While BOLD or
oxygen-enhanced BOLD can provide qualitative assessment
of tissue oxygenation, the measurement is relative and
lacks specific. In this study, we have demonstrated the
feasibility of utilizing the liver qBOLD technique to
non-invasively estimate the regional hepatic blood
oxygen saturation and hepatic blood volume. Our results
were in good agreement with the reported values in
literature.
