Abstract

For the first time, change in the proton longitudinal relaxation times (T1) of rat tissues has been examined throughout the whole process of azo-dye hepatocarcinogenesis. Two maxima of the T1 values were observed for liver, on Day 60 and after Day 120, and these changes correlated well with the changes in water content. The first peak was ascribed to the immature hepatocytes of hyperplastic nodules, and the second peak to the developed hepatoma cells. The significance of the change in T1 values as a preneoplastic change is discussed.
