Table 3. Pre- and Post-Contrast T2^* Values of Liver.

Liver Function Group	Pre-Contrast (ms)	Post-Contrast (10 Minutes, ms)	P
NLF (n = 50)	22.9 ± 5.1 (11.9–36.3)	21.7 ± 4.6 (11.6–34.8)	< 0.001
MLD (n = 143)	23.4 ± 5.6 (7.3–41.0)	22.5 ± 5.0 (7.5–40.6)	< 0.001
SLD (n = 30)	23.9 ± 4.6 (15.0–32.7)	23.9 ± 4.5 (15.5–32.8)	0.886

Paired sample t test was used to compare pre- and post-contrast T2^* values in each group. Range of pre-contrast and post-contrast values is shown in parenthesis. MLD = mild liver disease, NLF = normal liver function, SLD = severe liver disease
