We are developing an MRI method to measure acetaminophen toxicity in the liver. We obtained T1 maps using the clinically approved contrast agent gadoxetate disodium (Eovist). The contrast agent was administered by infusion to maintain a steady liver concentration throughout the T1 mapping. Mice with acetaminophen toxicity had higher T1 and heterogeneous gadoxetate disodium uptake compared to healthy controls. This is a promising method for quantifying drug induced liver damage in vivo.
