To find out the relationship among T1rho, liver fibrosis stages and liver function, MRI including T1rho sequence was performed in 32 CCl4 induced liver fibrosis SD rat models and 12 SD rats of control group. Laboratory test related to liver function were done before execution and liver was taken out for pathology evaluation. Liver fibrosis was staged according to staging systems for rodents. Results showed that T1rho could be used to diagnose early liver fibrosis (>F2) and correlation was significant between T1rho values and both liver fibrosis stage and blood serum parameters.
