Abstract
In this prospective trial 37 patients undergoing PVE were examined before and 14 and 28 days after PVE and 10 days after extended hemihepatectomy using GdEOBDTPAenhanced MRI Lobar volume kinetic growth rate KGR relative enhancement RE as well as hepatocellular uptake index HUI and fat signal fraction FSF were calculated for each lobeRE of the left liver lobe LLL was steadily increasing after PVE and decreased to 048 ± 019 10 days after surgery which is significantly lower than 14 days and 28 days post PVE P 005 KGR was 1406 ± 982/week for the period from PVE to 14 days after PVE HUI of the LLL increased steadily after PVE and was significantly higher at both 14 and 28 days after PVE compared to pre PVE P 005 HUI of the residual liver after surgery was lower than before
