Quantitative MRI and Outcomes of Liver Resection

The present observational study aims to assess the benefit of this quantitative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical practice, to quantify future liver remnant performance, and to accurately predict the risk of liver failure after major hepatectomy, among patients undergoing major liver resection. The main questions to be answered are: * Can multiparametric MRI predict the postoperative liver function? * Can multiparametric MRI predict the postoperative liver-specific complications as well as mortality? With ethical approval and fully informed consent, patients being considered for major liver resection will undergo clinical assessment, blood sampling, and multiparametric MRI before surgery. For the primary outcome, 33 participants will be needed to detect a minimum correlation coefficient of 0.2 with 5% significance and 80% power.
