Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the use of gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (gadoxetate disodium Gd-EOB-DTPA) in the cirrhotic liver and illustrate the imaging appearance of lesions commonly encountered in the cirrhotic liver.Gd-EOB-DTPA shows promise as a problem-solving tool in the cirrhotic liver because it provides additional information that may be helpful in lesion detection and characterization. Further research is needed to optimize Gd-EOB-DTPA imaging protocols in cirrhosis and develop diagnostic criteria for liver lesions in the cirrhotic liver.
