Pilot Study for the Prediction of Donor Liver Adipose Content by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Pilot Study for the Prediction of Donor Liver Adipose Content by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
A pilot prospective cohort study assessing the clinical utility of MRI evaluation of graft steatosis prior to transplantation will be conducted. An MRI of the donor liver within the transport cooler will be obtained on its way to the operating room.
The images from MRI will be analyzed to obtain information of fat content in all eight segments of the liver. Demographic, intra-operative, and post-operative patient data will be collected for each imaged graft.
