Radioembolization (RE) is a relatively novel treatment modality for primary and secondary
hepatic malignancies. Microspheres embedded with a β-emitting radioisotope are injected …

Preoperative assessment of liver function and prediction of postoperative functional reserve
are important in patients scheduled for liver resection. While determination of absolute liver …

Background 99m Tc-mebrofenin-hepatobiliary-scintigraphy (HBS) enables measurement of
future remnant liver (FRL)-function and was implemented in our preoperative routine after …

The placenta contains multiple biologically active substances, which exert antioxidation, anti-
inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and delayed aging effects. Its extract can improve hepatic …

Liver resection still represent the treatment of choice for liver malignancies, but in some
cases inadequate future remnant liver (FRL) can lead to post hepatectomy liver failure …

Abstract Objectives To compare Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic hepatocyte-specific contrast-
enhanced MRI (DHCE-MRI) with 99m Tc-mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) as …

Future remnant liver function (FRL-F) estimation is important before major liver resection to
avoid posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). Conventionally, it is estimated by global …

Background Preoperative portal vein embolization is widely used to increase the future
remnant liver. Identification of nonresponders to portal vein embolization is essential …

Background There are no accurate tools to predict short-term mortality or the need for early
retransplantation after liver transplantation (LT). A noninvasive measurement of indocyanine …

Abstract Objectives To compare Gd-EOB-enhanced MRI and 99m Tc-mebrofenin
hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) as imaging-based liver function tests for separate …
