Objective To explore performances of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluation of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury.Method The relative references about the principle of functional MRI and its application in the assessment of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury were reviewed and summarized.Results The main functional MRI techniques for the assessment of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury included the diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD), dynamic contrast enhancement MRI (DCE-MRI), and T2 mapping, etc.. These techniques mainly used in the animal model with hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury currently.Conclusions From current results of researches of animal models, functional MRI is a non-invasive tool to accurately and quantitatively evaluate microscopic information changes of liver tissue in vivo. It can provide a useful information on further understanding of mechanism and prognosis of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury. With development of donation after cardiac death, functional MRI will play a more important role in evaluation of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury.
