Correlation between intrahepatic iodine quantity after portal vein embolization and future liver remnant hypertrophy
Higher iodine content in the FLR was associated with greater FLR hypertrophy after portal vein embolization. However, because the correlation observed in this study was modest, the predictive ability of this parameter could not be established. Nevertheless, DECT-based iodine quantification may provide complementary information on FLR function and warrants further investigation as a potential biomarker in future studies.
