Abstract：Donor shortage has hampered the development of liver transplantation in China. Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) will effectively expand the donor source, while hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury has severe influence on the prognosis of DCD liver graft. Functional MR imaging can evaluate microscopic information changes of liver tissue in vivo non-invasively, accurately and quantitatively, the results are expected to provide valuable information on further understanding the mechanism and prognosis of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury. The aims of the present review were as follows: (a) to present the state of DCD donor liver in China, (b) to present the hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury, and (c) to review the MRI evaluation of hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury.
