Abstract
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) imaging of the liver as a trendy technique can be applied in various kinds of liver diseases to evaluate perfusion and vascular characteristics of liver tissue and tumor. It has been proved that DCE-MR imaging plays an important role in the treatment of liver malignancies with vascular targeting agents. This review aims to give an overview of DCE-MR imaging of the liver in terms of semi-quantitative analysis methods, common quantitative analysis models and contrast agents and discuss its application value in the treatment of liver malignancies with vascular targeting agents.
