We carried out a pilot study using DCE-MRI to assess liver cirrhosis in mice. Elevated values of extravasation parameters such as interstitial volume and vascular permeability were found in the cirrhotic mice, which was consistent to the capillarisation of liver sinusoidal endothelium found in liver cirrhosis.
