Purpose: To investigate the utility of T1 rho and T2 relaxations for assessing the severity of liver fibrosis (F stage) and necro-inflammation (A stage) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).Materials and methods: We calculated T1 p and T2 relaxations of the liver parenchyma in 82 patients who underwent liver surgery. F and A stages of enrolled patients were assessed by referring to surgically resected specimens. The relationships between T1 rho or T2 relaxation and F or A stage were assessed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test, Spearman's rank correlation test and a receiver operating characteristic analysis.Results: The T1 rho and T2 values of the liver parenchyma were significantly increased as the F and A stages progressed. The T1 rho and T2 values showed significant differences between F0 and F4, between F1 and F4, and between F2 and F4. In addition, T1 rho values showed a significant difference between F0 and F3 as well. The highest diagnostic ability for fibrosis was obtained when differentiating >= F3 from = A1 from A0.Conclusion: T1 rho and T2 relaxations have potential as a biochemical marker for assessing the severity of liver fibrosis and necm-inflammation. T1 rho relaxation may be slightly superior to T2 relaxation in terms of diagnostic ability for liver fibrosis and necro-inflammation.
