The Assessment of Regional Liver Function Before Major Hepatectomy Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

DISCUSSION: The present study revealed that FR-LSR calculated using a 3-dimensional volumetric analysis system was an independent risk factor for clinically relevant PHLF. The liver-to-spleen signal intensity ratio of the future remnant liver region might be a reliable preoperative parameter in liver functional assessment, enabling safe performance of major hepatectomy.PMID:33856936 | DOI:10.1177/00031348211011095
