Evaluation of liver function using hepatocyte uptake and T1 mapping indices in gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: correlation with the albumin-bilirubin grading system
K<sub>hep</sub> and T1post provide good diagnostic performance in distinguishing ALBI groups. T1post exhibits the highest area under the curve (AUC) when predicting lower liver function groups, whereas K<sub>hep</sub> excels in predicting high-grade liver function. Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI with T1 mapping shows potential as a tool for assessing liver function.
