Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a well-established indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), but post-OLT bile duct strictures complicate the outcome for these patients. These strictures might represent recurrent PSC (rPSC). To estimate the risk factors for post-OLT non-anastomo
In the clinical MRI practice, it is common to assess liver iron overload by T2\* multi-echo gradient-echo images. However, there is no full consensus about the best image analysis approach for the T2\* measurements. The currently used methods involve manual drawing of a region of interest (ROI) with
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows the noninvasive measurement of whole organ metabolism due to the presence of the MR-sensitive nucleus phosphorus 31 in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), its precursors, and break-down products. In small animal liver transplant studies it has been used to anal
