Visual assessment of biliary excretion of Gd-EOB-DTPA in patients with suspected diffuse liver disease – A biopsy-verified prospective study

Highlights • MR using hepatocyte specific contrast may potentially assess liver function. • Covariance between contrast uptake and histo-pathological scoring of liver fibrosis. • No relationship between visually assessed biliary contrast excretion and fibrosis scoring. • No relationship between visu...
