This study evaluates the feasibility of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) in judging liver fibrosis, analyzes the interaction between ECV and liver function.The method is to calculate ECV in different degrees of liver function and compare the correlation between ECV and serum albumin. Our research shows that ECV20min had no significant difference among Child-Pugh A, Child-Pugh B and Child-Pugh C, there was a weak correlation with serum albumin. Therefore, we consider that ECV of hepatobiliary phase will not be affected by liver function when Gd-EOB-DTPA is used to evaluate liver fibrosis, it may be a reliable tool in assessing liver fibrosis.
