Komplexe, erweiterte Leberresektionen ((e)PHx) stellen ein hohes Risiko für ein postoperatives Leberversagen dar, insbesondere bei einer bereits bestehenden Lebererkrankung. Das Ziel von QuaLiPerF ist es, bisher unbekannte Wechselwirkungen zwischen den durch die Operation verursachten Veränderungen der Perfusion und der Stoffwechselfunktion aufzuklären. Wir werden einen systemmedizinischen Ansatz anwenden, um ein mehrskaliges Modell der Leberperfusion und -funktion zu erstellen, das die Vorhersage ...

Within the overarching goal of the research unit QuaLiPerF to gain a data-integrated, multi-scale understanding of the interplay between hepatic perfusion and function and its recovery after extended hepatectomy (ePHx), this subproject (P6) is devoted to experimental MRI investigations in rats. This subproject aims to establish a comprehensive MR imaging toolbox for small animal imaging at 9.4T and to provide MRI-based spatially resolved, multi-parametric quantitative in vivo information on liver ...

Fat quantification of 5 liver lobes (RML, LML, LLL, RL, CL) During the MRI sesssion at least one PRESS voxel was placed in each of those liver lobes to acquire PRESS data for later fat analysis. Acquisitions were without water suppression, so the fat peaks are relatively small.

The quantification was performed using lcmodel. The original MRI data are part of the MRI session assays (data files uploaded). Here you can find the additional analysis and the output of lcmodel: The "ps" in each exam ...

animals underwent a 60% PVL surgery and this MRI session was performed on post operation day 5 (POD5).

Complete original MRI data for POD5. Bruker format but human readable link names as exam folder, so instead of 2/ the folder is named E002_Anatomy_Light_T2_E2/ derived from the display name.

Perfusion Analysis of Control group

The MRI Perfusion technique is FAIR, so three maps were calulated:

Selective Inversion T1 Map Global inversion T1 map Perfusion Map (ml/min/100g)

This was performed once using the Paravision 6.0.1 Macro for Perfusion Evaluation and by using an in house matlab script.

The** original Perfusion Map from the Bruker scanner** are allready part of the original MRI data. You can find these in each of the Perfusion Exams in the Bruker reconstrcution folder pdata/ 1/ ...
