This study investigated the feasibility of IVIM to evaluate fibrotic liver regeneration and function recovery after partial hepatectomy in a rat model. In fibrotic rats, significant increase in D values and decrease in D* and PF values followed with recovery to pre-PH levels were shown. PF values correlated well with Ki-67 indices, D* and PF values correlated well with ALT, AST, and TBil values. IVIM may be an noninvasive and promising approach to monitor liver regeneration and functional recovery after PH.
