Synopsis

Different diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) models were used to evaluate microscopic changes of residual liver in rats after standard partial hepatectomy (70%PH). Multiple b-value DWI at multiple timepoints after 70%PH were acquired, and the data was analyzed using three diffusion models: conventional monoexponential DWI, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) models. Compared with the monoexponential model of DWI, IVIM and DKI models can describe the changes of blood supply in the process of liver regeneration and provide added value in evaluating the microstructure of liver regeneration after standard partial hepatectomy.
