Non-invasive imaging evaluation of the liver fibrosis and liver function has been gaining emphasis currently. In preclinical trial with animal liver fibrosis model, the gadoxetate DCE-MRI is quite feasible to evaluate histopathologic liver fibrosis and physiologic liver function in a non-invasive and repeatable manner. The best MRI index would be the iAUC-15, which is better than kPa on SWE.
