To assess the diagnostic accuracy of intracellular uptake rates (Ki), and other quantitative pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, for hepatic fibrosis stage; to compare this accuracy with a previously published semi-quantitative metric, contrast enhancement index (CEI); and to assess variability of these parameters between liver regions. Case-control study design. Dynamic Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced 1.5T MRI was performed prospectively in 22 subjects with varying known stages of hepatic fibrosis. PK parameters and CEI were derived from the whole livers and from three fixed regions of interest (ROI) in all subjects. Spearman rank correlation coefficients were computed to assess the relationship between fibrosis stages and each parameter. ROC curves were constructed to discriminate severe fibrosis (stages 3-4) from non-severe fibrosis (stages 0-2). Coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated to assess variability in parameters between ROIs. Ki and fibrosis stage were significantly correlated (R=-0.55, 95% CI [-0.79, -0.14], p=0.01). Area under ROC curve (AUC) in distinguishing severe from non-severe fibrosis for Ki was 0.84 (95% CI [0.65,1.00]), and for CEI was 0.64 (95% CI [0.39, 0.89]) (p=0.0248). CV for Ki and CEI were 33.4 and 5.8, respectively. The only other parameter in the PK model having significant correlation with fibrosis stage was absolute arterial blood flow (Fa) (R=-0.48, 95% CI [-0.75,-0.05], p=0.03). Hepatocyte intracellular uptake rate, Ki, derived from DCE-MRI, correlates with fibrosis stage and may contribute to a non-invasive biomarker of hepatic fibrosis.
