Synopsis

Keywords: Liver, Elastography, liver regeneration, elasticity imaging techniques, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatectomyThe liver stiffness (LS) value based on MRE may be a useful preoperative predictor of liver regeneration in patients with HCC. The LS derived from MRE shows a significant negative correlation with fibrosis, an important predictor of liver regeneration. In the low and high parenchymal hepatic resection rate (PHRR) groups, there was no significant relationship between regeneration index (RI) and LS values of MRE. However, a negative relationship was shown between LS values and RI in the intermediate PHRR group.
