An efficient imaging protocol was developed to facilitate diagnosis of hepatorenal syndrome in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Multiparametric MRI for quantifying perfusion, diffusion, and blood oxygenation, as well as multiparametric MRE for quantifying viscoelasticity and tissue pressure were optimized in preparation for the pilot study predicting hepatorenal syndrome. Results demonstrate the feasibility of the multiparametric protocol and provide motivation for commencing clinical testing.
