Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Human Liver
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response of human liver to hyperoxic exposure under fasting and postprandial conditions.
METHODS: Twelve healthy volunteers and 1 patient with chronic liver disease underwent liver BOLD magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0T. The BOLD images of a single slice were collected (1 image per second) during 3 breathing cycles of hyperoxia (3 minutes, 100% oxygen) with 5 minutes medical air …
