[Abstract] Objective To investigate the comparative analysis of different hepatobiliary specific contrast agents and their value in liver function grading evaluation.Materials and Methods The imaging data of patients with pathologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed chronic liver disease in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2018 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 162 patients were included and divided into two groups according to different contrast medium, including 81 patients who underwent domestic contrast enhancement and 81 patients who underwent originator contrast enhancement. The quality of MRI images in arterial phase, portal venous phase, equilibrium phase and hepatobiliary phase was assessed in both groups. The contrast enhancement index (CEI) was calculated by measuring the relative ratio of the unenhanced masked image (SIpre) to the relative ratio of the hepatobiliary specific phase after enhancement (SIpost), CEI=SIpost/SIpre. The clinical data of all patients were collated and analyzed for Child-Pugh classification of liver function, the difference in CEI between domestic contrast medium and original contrast medium was assessed and the correlation between CEI of the two contrasts medium and Child-Pugh classification of liver function was explored, respectively.Results There was no significant difference in MRI images quality assessment between the two contrasts medium, and the consistency between the two assessors was high. The mean CEI of domestic gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) contrast medium in Child-Pugh classification A and B of liver function was 1.28-1.87 (1.40±0.14) and 1.00-1.28 (1.15±0.07), and there was a significant difference in the CEI between Child-Pugh A group and Child-Pugh B group (P＜0.001). The mean CEI of originator contrasts medium Gd-EOB-DTPA was 1.30-1.67 (1.40±0.09) and 1.00-1.29 (1.18±0.08), and there was a significant difference in the CEI between Child-Pugh A group and Child-Pugh B group (P＜0.001). There was no significant difference in the CEI between the two groups under the same Child-Pugh classification of liver function (all P＞0.05); with the decrease of liver function, the CEI of both groups decreased.Conclusions Domestic Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast medium and foreign Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast medium showed high similarity in enhanced images of liver diseases, and there was no significant difference in diagnostic efficacy. The subjective item evaluation and quantitative parameter evaluation of Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast enhanced MRI images have good analysis results, which can provide important clinical value for the evaluation of liver function in patients with chronic liver disease.
