Staging Hepatic Fibrosis: Comparison of Gadoxetate Disodium- enhanced and Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging: Preliminary Observations

To evaluate the utility of hepatocyte-phase gadoxetate disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in staging hepatic fibrosis and to compare it with diffusion-weighted imaging. This retrospective study had institutional review board approval, and the requirement for informed consent was waive...
