Utility of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating liver failure risk after major hepatic resection

Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is still a predominant cause of hepatectomy-related mortality. However, it is difficult to evaluate the remnant liver functional reserve accurately before surgery to prevent PHLF. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating remnant liver functional reserve.
