  2. 1. Non-Invasive Assessment of Liver Fibrosis with 31P-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Author : Bengt Norén; Staffan Wirell; Peter Lundberg; Peter Leander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The present study aims at demonstrating phosphorus metabolite concentration changes and alterations in uptake/excretion of a hepatocyte specific contrast agent in patients with diffuse - or suspected diffuse - liver disease by applying two non-invasive quantitative MR techniques and to compare the results with histo-pathological findings, with focus on liver fibrosis.In the first study phosphorus-31 MR spectroscopy using slice selection (DRESS) was implemented.

  4. 2. Quantitative 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy in diffuse liver disease

    Author : Bengt Norén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The studies in this thesis were delineated to evaluate the diagnostic possibilities in patients with diffuse liver disease by using phosphorus-31 MR spectroscopy and comparing the results with clinical, laboratory and histopathological findings. For this purpose in all 38 patients and 25 controls without evidence of liver disease were examined. READ MORE
