The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic
value of a novel 3D FLASH dual-flip-angle (DFA) T1
mapping sequence with whole liver coverage, used before
and after injection of gadoxetic acid for the evaluation
of diffuse liver disease. We found significantly lower
T1 at hepatobiliary phase and lower T1 changes (ΔT1) in
cirrhotic patients compared with non-cirrhotic patients,
and between Child Pugh B+C in comparison with Child Pugh
A patients. 3D T1 mapping sequence with whole liver
coverage used before and after gadoxetic acid injection
can help detect cirrhosis and evaluate liver function.
