MRI assessment of hepatic fibro-inflammatory injury in rat CCl4 model. (A) Quantification of hepatic collagen content (% area of Picrosirius Red staining). (B) Representative examples of transverse liver MR T1 relaxation maps. (C) T1 relaxation quantification in rats receiving CCl4 or OO for 4 and 12 weeks. (D) Correlation between hepatic collagen content and T1 in rats receiving CCl4 and OO for 12 weeks. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test (*P<0.05, **P<0.01). Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.

MRI assessment of hepatic steatosis and steatotic inflammatory injury in rat MCD diet model. (A) Representative examples of transverse liver MR PDFF maps. (B) Quantification of Oil Red O (ORO) staining of hepatic fat. (C) Quantification of hepatic PDFF. (D-F) Correlations between hepatic PDFF and (D) histologically assessed steatosis, (E) steatotic inflammatory injury [N(m)AS] and (F) ORO staining in rats receiving MCD or control diet (N) for 4 and 8 weeks. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test (**P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001). Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.

MRI assessment of hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis in rat CCl4 model. (A) Representative examples of transverse liver MR PDFF maps. (B) Quantification of Oil Red O (ORO) staining of hepatic fat. (C) Quantification of hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF). (D,E) Correlations between hepatic PDFF and (D) histologically assessed ORO staining and (E) steatotic inflammatory injury [N(m)AS] in rats receiving CCl4 or olive oil (OO) for 4 and 12 weeks. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test (*P<0.05, **P<0.01). Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.

MRI assessment of hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis in cilostazol-treated rats on MCD diet. Sprague-Dawley rats received MCD diet for 4 weeks plus cliostazol or vehicle for the last 2 weeks of the model. Animals were scanned at baseline and after 4 weeks. (A) Quantification of hepatic fat by morphometry based on H&E staining. (B) Steatotic inflammatory injury [N(m)AS]. (C) Representative examples of transverse liver MR proton density fat fraction (PDFF). (D) Quantification of hepatic PDFF. (E) Correlation between PDFF and steatotic inflammatory injury [N(m)AS]. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test. Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.

MRI assessment of T2*/R2* relaxation in preclinical liver injury models. (A) Representative examples of transverse liver MR T2* maps. (B) Quantification of R2* (1/T2*) in rats receiving CCl4 or olive oil (OO) for 4 and 12 weeks. (C) Quantification of R2* (1/T2*) in rats receiving MCD or control diet (N) for 4 and 8 weeks. (D) Correlation between R2* and PDFF in animals receiving CCl4 or OO injections and MCD or control diets. Data presented as mean±s.d., analyzed by unpaired t-test (****P<0.0001). Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient was used to examine correlations.
