To assess whether hepatobiliary phase images of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) is a diagnostic finding of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in patients with hepatic metastases who have undergone chemotherapy, we retrospectively analysed EOB-MRI of 42 patients who had undergone chemotherapy before hepatic resection of colorectal hepatic metastases using a 5-point scale. Reticular hypointensity on hepatobiliary phase images of EOB-MRI is highly specific for the diagnosis of SOS in patients with treated colorectal hepatic metastases with good interobserver agreement.
