Magnetization transfer contrast-prepared MR imaging of the liver: inability to distinguish healthy from cirrhotic liver.

Abstract

Findings of this study confirm the ability of the MT contrast-prepared sequence to help distinguish substances of varying protein concentration and suggest that MT imaging is unlikely to be of clinical utility in differentiating healthy and cirrhotic livers.
