Researchers designed this study to compare the value of the conventional circular region-of-interest (ROI) and whole-liver histogram-based analysis on gadoxetic acid disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced T1 map for predicting postoperative liver failure (PHLF). Researchers collected and analyzed the data of patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for focal liver lesions. Researchers drew circular ROIs on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced T1 maps to get the mean T1 values. Researchers used a multiparametric analysis software to get histogram parameters. Then researchers compared the differences of these parameters between the PHLF group and non-PHLF group.
