Representative MRI images of the liver and corresponding time-intensity curves immediately after IRE in a single rabbit. The entire ablated zone shows hyper-intensity on the T2W image (a, arrowheads), slight hypo-intensity on the pre-contrast T1W image (b, arrowheads), and heterogeneous enhancement with a non-enhancement center and an obvious peripheral enhancement on the post-contrast T1W image (c). The maps of Ktrans (d), ve (e) and vp (f) overlapped on the post-contrast T1W image clearly depicted heterogeneous perfusion of the entire ablated zone. The time-intensity curves (g) derived from the normal liver parenchyma, the RE and IRE zone show a unique pattern for each zone.
