• Liver T2 values from the radial turbo spin-echo (TSE) T2 mapping sequence with tiered echo sharing and pseudo golden-angle (pGA) reordering were significantly higher in decompensated cirrhosis than compensated cirrhosis. • Liver T2 values from the radial TSE T2 mapping sequence with tiered echo sharing and pGA reordering can predict decompensation and death in patients with cirrhosis. • T2 mapping is recommended as part of liver MRI examinations for cirrhotic patients because it can provide a noninvasive prognostic marker for the development of decompensation and death.
