MRI assessment of T2*/R2* relaxation in preclinical liver injury models. (A) Representative examples of transverse liver MR T2* maps. (B) Quantification of R2* (1/T2*) in rats receiving CCl4 or olive oil (OO) for 4 and 12 weeks. (C) Quantification of R2* (1/T2*) in rats receiving MCD or control diet (N) for 4 and 8 weeks. (D) Correlation between R2* and PDFF in animals receiving CCl4 or OO injections and MCD or control diets. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test (****P<0.0001). Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.
