Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the potential of dual-layer detector spectral CT in assessing hepatic functional reserve non-invasively.
Used dual-layer spectral CT imaging to measure enhancement parameters in the portal venous phase.
Conducted multivariate regression analysis to determine associations with liver function.
Assessed clinical relevance of the image-derived index in the right hepatic lobe.
The dual-layer spectral CT-derived index correlates significantly with hepatic functional reserve (p=0.004).
ECV was excluded from the multivariate regression analysis as a predictor.
Findings suggest potential use of the index as a non-invasive biomarker for liver function assessment.

Abstract

=0.004),whereas ECV was not selected in the multivariate regression model. Conclusion The dual-layer spectral CT-derived IC in the portal venous phase of the right hepatic lobe demonstrates significant clinical relevance with hepatic functional reserve,potentially serving as a non-invasive imaging biomarker for liver function assessment.
