Preoperative 3D Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Predicting Surgical Risk in Patients Undergoing Hepatectomy

How to accurately and safely evaluate regional liver function before hepatectomy remains an important unsolved problem in the surgical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We plan to develop a non-invasive, functional 3D-MRE-based method for preoperative regional hepatic functional reserve assessment, and to evaluate its ability to predict surgical risk and postoperative liver failure in patients with HCC undergoing hepatectomy.
