An optimal pulse power measurement method for multinuclear simultaneous integrated magnetic resonance imaging includes the following steps: successively or simultaneously exciting multiple nuclides within a slice in a same repetition time (TR) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); applying, in a slice encoding gradient channel, a frequency encoding gradient in a direction opposite to a slice selection gradient, and acquiring free induction decay (FID) signals of all the nuclides; simultaneously changing shaped radiofrequency (RF) pulse power values of all the nuclides for multiple times, and acquiring multiple corresponding FID signals for each nuclide; and performing Fourier transform on the FID signals of each nuclide, selecting a spectral peak in an absolute spectrum, integrating the spectral peak for comparison, and taking a shaped RF pulse power value corresponding to a maximum signal intensity of each nuclide as an optimal shaped RF pulse power corresponding to a current TR.

Disclosed is a molecular imaging method for evaluating liver regeneration ability after ALPPS. The method includes steps of: 1) preparing a VX2 rabbit liver cancer model; 2) performing ALPPS for the VX2 rabbit liver cancer model; 3) synthesizing 18F-Fluoromethylcholine (18F-Methylcholine, 18F-FCH); 4) PET/CT imaging and data processing forF-FCH. The disclosure is the first to propose the use of 18F-FCH PET/CT to monitor the proliferative capacity of residual liver, and further indirectly reflect the increased ability of cell membrane synthesis on the basis that 18F-FCH has higher choline metabolism in residual liver tissue, so that the liver regeneration ability after ALPPS is evaluated by the molecular imaging method, thereby providing important new ideas for the clinical selection of ALPPS to choose the best time for second-stage surgery.
