PURPOSE: To explore the value of T1 relaxation times in the rotating frame (T1 ρ or T1 rho) for evaluating liver fibrosis stage, compared to apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Liver fibrosis in model rats (n = 50) was produced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ) injection. Five rats died during the experiment. Surviving model rats (n = 45) and controls (n = 15) were subjected to 3.0T MRI and the ADCs (b-values: 0, 800 s/mm(2) ) and T1 ρ values were determined. Liver fibrosis stage (F0-F4) was defined based on METAVIR scoring. Nonparametric statistical methods and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were employed to determine diagnostic accuracy.
RESULTS: Mean ADC and T1 ρ associated negatively (r = -0.732 P < 0.001) and positively (r = 0.863 P < 0.001), respectively, with severity of fibrosis stage. Analysis of ROC curves for fibrosis staging showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for T1 ρ (stage F0 vs. F1-F4 = 0.976, stage F0-F1 vs. F2-F4 = 0.920, stage F0-F2 vs. F3-F4 = 0.938, and stage F0-F3 vs. F4 = 0.931) was larger than that for ADCs (0.917, 0.924, 0.842, and 0.781, respectively).
CONCLUSION: ADC and T1 ρ values correlate with liver fibrosis stage. The performance of the T1 ρ parameter was superior to that of the ADC parameter in the differentiation of liver fibrosis stages in a CCl4 rat model.
