ABSTRACT
We present a case with acute radiation-induced hepatic injury using chondroitin sulfate iron colloid (CSIS)-enhanced MRI. Uptake of CSIC was decreased in the irradiated portion of the liver. CSIC-enhanced MRI is useful for obtaining information on the function of the reticuloendothelial system and demarcates between irradiated and nonirradiated zones.
