Synopsis

Keywords: Liver, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques, Liver regeneration; Intravoxel incoherent motion; Carcinoma, Hepatocellular; HepatectomyThe D value derived from IVIM diffusion-weighted imaging may be a useful marker for the preoperative prediction of liver regeneration in patients with HCC. and the D value derived from IVIM diffusion-weighted imaging shows a significant negative correlation with fibrosis, an important predictor of liver regeneration. No IVIM parameters were associated with liver regeneration in patients who underwent major hepatectomy, but the D value was a significant predictor of liver regeneration in patients who underwent minor hepatectomy.
