Figure 2.
T2-weighted MRI revealed a uniform contrast level within livers at POD 0 (A). At POD 2, regions of hyperintensity (arrow) were seen at the same location as necrotic areas of the liver. These findings are consistent with necrotic changes. At POD 28 there were no visible regions of hyperintensity on T2WI. (B) 3D volumetric assessment of ischemic liver reveals the percentage of hyperintensities within the liver that increased from a maximum at POD 2 but then decreased to control levels by POD 28. (C) Quantification of ischemic lesion volume showed a large increase at POD 2 that returned to control levels at POD 28.
